Steps to Change Your Region in Valorant
One of the many reasons why players want to change regions is because the currency doesn’t match. A good example would be moving to the United States when you come from Southeast Asia. When you log in to your Valorant account, you will also see that your account did not automatically swap regions.
So, you should undoubtedly change your region in Valorant once you can. Yet, you should also note that there are only two methods to region-swap. One is by going to the Riot Games Support Page about your residency. The other method is to contact a Riot Support Team Member if all else fails. Here are the steps you need to do for method one:
- Go to the Riot Support Page
- Log in to Your Account
- Click on the Check Button
- If you qualify to change your region in Valorant, Riot will switch it to where you currently reside.
You should also note that you can only swap your region to where you currently live. It also means using a VPN during this check is illegal and against the Policies and Guidelines. So, you must also make sure that you genuinely moved to a different region.
If Riot did not let you change your region in Valorant, you can contact a Riot Support Team Member. Here are the steps to follow:
- Go to the Ticket Submission Page
- Choose Your Request Type as “Account Management, Data Requests, or Deletion”
- Put Anything Relating to Changing Your Region Residency in Valorant in your Subject
- Explain that you went through the first method and your region did not change
- Select Account Management
- Select Need Help Changing Region
- Click Submit
A member of the Riot Support Team will get back to you momentarily. Yet, you should also note that they will change your region residency in Valorant if you meet the requirements. If they don’t, they will send a detailed response on why they can’t change your region.
So, these are the two easy methods to region-swap if you relocated to another country. You should also make sure to do this first since it can impact your gameplay experience. Other than that, have fun and enjoy.
