Valorant servers seem to be down right now on June 18, 2024, as players report frequent disconnections between games. If you're having trouble connecting to Valorant today, you're not alone as player reports from all regions indicate a severe problem in the game servers. Additionally, some players are unable to login to the game and get past the initial loading screen.

This article will explore the current downtime status of Valorant servers today (June 18, 2024) and the possible reasons behind it.


Valorant is currently facing severe server issues

Valorant players are currently facing a wave of frustrating server problems. Reports have poured in across various online communities like X and Discord, reporting issues with staying connected in-game, lengthy rejoin times after disconnections, and then being disconnected automatically even after rejoining matches.

Some players have even received error messages preventing players from joining matches due to "excessive players," and being put in a queue before being able to join the game. On the other hand, some players have also reported getting the VAN 84 error, basically indicating a game server problem and requesting the client to restart the game.

The issue seems pretty widespread as even the site Downdetector shows a sudden surge in downtime reports, which is spiking significantly right now. The disconnection issues have made competitive play nearly impossible. Even attempting rejoins are taking a long time, and many reports have indicated this rejoin being followed by yet another disconnect.


Riot Games has yet to officially acknowledge this issue about the server problems, especially since the server downtime seems to be a pretty widespread problem. Players are advised to keep an eye out on the game's official social media handles for any official communication or updates regarding the same, while they wait for the game servers to reach a stable point again.
