To mark the end of Episode 8 Act 3, Valorant servers will be taken down for scheduled maintenance on June 25, 2024, in North and South America, and on June 26, 2024, in Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe. Following this, the game will be unavailable for a while, and players will be unable to log in to the title.

While seasoned players might be accustomed to this, new players might be thrown off by the sudden unavailability of the game. Don't worry, as this is a common procedure, and the game will be back and running within a couple of hours, when you will get access to Patch 9.0.

This article discusses everything you need to know about Valorant servers' downtime ahead of Episode 9 Act 1.
