Valorant is a first-person shooter, so as with other competitive games of this genre, internet connection and ping play a big role. The lower the ping, the faster the game will respond to your actions, and accordingly, you will kill your opponents faster than they kill you. To have low ping, sometimes it is not enough to be confident in your own internet connection; often it depends on the game itself, namely the distance to the Riot Games servers. That is why, if your ping is high and your own internet is fine, you should choose another server, and below we will tell you how to change server in Valorant?.

What is a server region in Valorant?

First, let's talk about what a server region is and how it is determined. In simple terms, a server region is the location where the server is located. There are 6 regions in Valorant:

• Europe
• North America
• Latin America
• Brazil
• Korea
• Asia-Pacific

Each region has its own game servers located in major cities that belong to that region. For example, in Europe, servers are located in cities such as London, Frankfurt, Paris, Warsaw, and others.

How your server and region are determined

Your region and the list of available servers are determined when you register your Valorant account. Once this happens, the system automatically determines your current location and assigns you to one of the six regions described above, and at the same time, a list of servers in that region becomes available. If you want to region change Valorant, you must change your account details.. You can read more about how to do this in our article – How to change your region in Valorant.

How to change the server region in Valorant

Now that you know how the server system works and have seen the general list of regions and data centers, it's time to tell you how to change your server region in the game. It's actually quite simple to do.

1. Go to the game and go to the match search page
2. Select the mode you plan to play
3. Above your card, find the signal icon with three stripes
4. Open it and check the box next to the desired server
5. Start searching for a match

These steps will help you Valorant change servers quickly and easily. But note that next to each server is the ping you will experience when playing on it, which tells you how far away it is from you. Because of this, we recommend choosing servers with a high ping, as this will not only prevent you from playing, but will also make the match unpleasant for your allies, who will be forced to play in a party of four.
