How to Check and Change Your Valorant Region

You cannot change your Valorant region inside the game. The region is stored on your Riot account from the day you created it, and only Riot's own support site can show it or, if you have really moved, change it. Check it before you buy a Valorant Points code, because a code works only on accounts of its own region.

What a Valorant account region is

When you create a Riot account, Riot records where you are and assigns the account a region. Nobody asks you to pick one, which is why many players do not know theirs.

The region decides two things.

Where you play. Valorant runs on separate groups of servers: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Korea, Latin America and Brazil. Your account lives in one of them. Accounts from groups that are far apart, such as Europe and North America, cannot join the same party.

Which store you use. The packages of Valorant Points you see, the currency they are shown in, and the prepaid codes your account accepts all follow the account's country.

These two do not always cover the same area, and this is where buyers get confused. An account from Türkiye plays on the European servers, next to players from many other countries, but it has its own store. That is why a code issued for the Türkiye region works on Türkiye accounts only. An account made in Germany or Saudi Arabia refuses it, even if its owner plays in the very same matches.

How to check your Valorant region

The game does not show the region. Riot's support site does:

1. Open Riot's support site and go to the Valorant section.
2. Find the page about changing your region of residence.
3. Sign in with your Riot account when the page asks.
4. The page tells you which region your account is assigned to.

There is also a quick hint inside the game. Open the purchase screen for Valorant Points and look at the currency. It follows the account's store, so an account that sees its packages in Turkish lira has Türkiye as its store.

How to change your Valorant region when you have moved

The same support page handles changes. After you sign in, Riot compares the region on your account with the place you are connecting from now.

• If you have moved and Riot sees you in a different region, the page offers to move the account there.
• If Riot sees you in the region the account already has, the page says the account is where it should be and offers nothing.

So the change is not a menu of regions to pick from. It follows where you actually live, and Riot does not let an account switch back and forth freely, which makes it useless for one evening with friends abroad. Before you confirm, read what the page says about what carries over to the new region and what does not.

If you have really moved and the page still does not offer the change, send a ticket to Riot support from the same site and explain your situation.

What does not change the region

Players try several things that look related but are not.

• Changing your Riot ID. A new name or tagline changes nothing else on the account.
• Changing the game's language. The language is a display setting and nothing more.
• Picking a server in the lobby. Inside your region you can choose the servers you prefer, usually the ones nearest to you, where your ping is low. That choice stays within your region.
• Using a VPN. An existing account keeps its region whatever connection you use. Using a VPN to trick Riot's check, or to create an account in a region where you do not live, breaks Riot's terms and puts the account at risk. It also places you on servers far from home, where every duel is played at high ping.

Region and Valorant Points codes

For buyers this is the part that matters. Riot issues prepaid codes for each region separately, and the game refuses a code that comes from another one. No setting fixes that after the purchase.

Mas4Games sells Valorant Points codes for accounts of the Türkiye region only. If your account's store is Türkiye, they will work on it. If it is not, buy your points inside the game instead. The steps for entering a code are in our guide on how to redeem a Valorant code.

Frequent questions

Can I change my Valorant region to Türkiye?

Only if you live there now and Riot's check confirms it. There is no setting, payment or request that moves an account to a region its owner does not live in.

Can I change the Valorant server from inside the game?

You can choose your preferred servers within your own region on the lobby screen. Moving to the servers of another region is not possible from the game, because that would be a change of the account's region.

Can I play with a friend whose account is in another region?

If both accounts are in the same group of servers, yes. If they are in groups that Riot keeps apart, such as Europe and Asia Pacific, you cannot join the same party.

Does a VPN change my Valorant region?

No. The region is saved on the account and is not read from your connection each time you play. A VPN only adds delay, and using one to mislead Riot's region check puts the account at risk.
