Overview
With 89 possible error codes and 55 differently worded meanings and ways to put those pesky errors to bed, the frustration is very real for many VALORANT players. You’re not alone.

You’ll find the full list of VALORANT error codes, their official “surface-level fix”, and links to our deeper-diving content to guide you through what else you can do if/when those solutions don’t work.
