Valorant Login Issues: Riot Games Status Page Lists Critical Incident on Nov. 11

Valorant had a critical log-in incident listed on its official status page as of Nov. 11 at 6:40 a.m. ET (11:40 UTC). Riot Games first posted the incident, titled Valorant: Login Issues, on Nov. 11 at 12:43 a.m. ET (05:43 UTC), and the status page showed it as ongoing at the time of the data.

What the status page says

Riot rates the incident as critical. Its latest update said: “We’ve identified a problem impacting logins for some players, and are working on a fix.” Riot listed Xbox, Windows and PS5 as the affected platforms.

The status page does not state the cause, how many players are affected or when a fix will arrive. As of 6:40 a.m. ET, it had not reported service as restored.

What is affected

The problem is with logging in, and Riot described it as affecting some players. Outages Now tracks the game on its live Valorant status page.

What our checks show

At the time of the data, the front page of playvalorant.com answered from both of Outages Now’s checkpoints in Germany, with a fastest response of 245 ms. Those checkpoints only test whether the public website responds. They cannot see log-in, so a working front page says nothing about whether players can sign in.

Why it matters

Players on Xbox, Windows and PS5 who cannot get past the log-in screen can look at Riot’s official status page for updates. When the status page shows an incident, waiting is usually the fix. Resetting a password or reinstalling the app is best avoided while the company says it is working on the problem.
