Congratulations, you’ve just had a fantastic session on one of the best first-person shooters ever – and one of the best esports games around. But now, it’s time to quit – it’s about now that you’ll be looking to close down the game, and – more importantly – full sign out of VALORANT. How do you accomplish that, though? Here’s how to sign out of VALORANT correctly:

  1. Make sure you fully close down any Riot Games titles – in this case, VALORANT – by navigating to the settings menu and choosing Exit to Desktop. This will close the game, but not sign you out.
  2. Open the Riot Client, either by clicking a shortcut on the desktop, bringing it up in search, or finding it in the quick-access tray on the lower right-hand side of the screen.
  3. Once in the Riot Client, click on the profile icon (top-right of the screen) and simply select Sign Out.
  4. That’s it – you’ve learnt how to sign out of VALORANT!

When you leave VALORANT, you’ll be prompted to ‘Exit’ or to ‘Sign Out and Exit’, but the process isn’t fully finished until you’ve signed out from the Riot Client.

You’ll be slamming the spike in no time at all.
