How to add friends to Valorant

As a multiplayer game based on team play, Valorant wants you to fight alongside other players. Playing with your friends is more fun than playing with strangers because you know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

It won't surprise you if you want to know how to add friends in Valorant then. If you and your friends were lucky enough to get the keys to the closed beta, you'll want to know how it's possible. Read on to see how to add people to your Valorant Friends List.

The first thing you need to do is find the "Add Friends" button. It's located at the bottom of the game menu. Look right next to the search icon and you'll see a plus symbol. Click on it to open a submenu.

To add your friend, enter their name and Riot Games ID number in the tagline. Do not include the hashtag symbol as that will not allow you to add them. Your friend will receive a friend request. If they agree - which they should do - you can participate in matches together.

With just this Valorant closed beta, however, you might run into problems in being able to add your friends. Users have taken to Reddit and Twitter to say they have failed to add their friends to their friends list.


There is a temporary solution if you are experiencing this problem. According to a few posts on Reddit, you can enter your friend's name and number in another Riot title, such as League of Legends. Since their name and number are the same in every Riot game, they will be added to your Valorant Friends List automatically.
