Is Valorant Cross Platform? Crossplay and Cross-Progression (2026)
Nick Guli|Partly. Checked on Oct 9, 2026.
Valorant allows crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, it doesn’t support crossplay between PC and console. As per Riot’s official console guide, Xbox gamers can compete against PlayStation gamers but can’t play with PC players. This decision aims to maintain fair play. Cross-progression and cross-inventory are available across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S using a shared Riot Account. Keep in mind that competitive rank doesn’t transfer between platforms.
