It’s no secret that VALORANT is a fast-paced FPS title where every second counts. As a result, you can’t afford to play with a high ping, packet loss, or any other server issue. If you’ve ever experienced any of these issues during your playthrough, worry not, as Riot Games gives you the freedom to change VALORANT server region manually.
For your convenience, we’ll walk you through the steps to easily switch your VALORANT server region so you can get rid of the network lag issue.

After following these steps, you’ll be assigned the new server region whenever you play your next match.
Below you can find the complete list of server options that you can choose in VALORANT. It’s worth noting that you’re only allowed to choose server as per your region. For example, if you’re living in Asia, you can’t choose any server from the USA or any other region.
If you’re creating a new VALORANT account, your region will be automatically determined based on your current physical location. So, if you created your account while in the United States, for example, your Region of Residence would be the USA, and you’d be on the North America shard.
While you won’t be able to change your shard, you’ll be able to change the server if you’re the leader of your party, or if you’re playing solo. While the tech will do its best to place you on the optimal server, you’ll still be able to change it based on the servers available in your region!
