VALORANT is a team-based shooter, so playing with friends is not only more fun but also more effective. However, sometimes an error may occur that prevents you from playing together. In this guide, we’ll go over all possible causes of the “Unable to invite VALORANT” error and share solutions.

The essence of the problem

The “Unable to join party VALORANT” error means the game cannot add your friend to the party. There can be several reasons for this: technical glitches, account settings, regional restrictions, or simply missed updates. Details are provided in the table below.

Main causes of the error

Not long ago, the group code feature was added to the game, so try using it to join the same party if the standard invite method doesn’t work and throws an error. We hope you’ve found a solution to your problem and won’t be asking “Why can’t I invite my friend on VALORANT?” anymore.

How to add friends in VALORANT?

Currently, the ability to add friends is available only in-game, so open VALORANT and follow these steps:

• Click the vertical bar on the right, where the friends list and their activity status are displayed.
• At the bottom, click the icon of a person with a plus sign.
• In the pop-up window above the icon, enter the nickname of the person you want to add, and in the second field their tag, which follows the hash symbol (#). You do not need to enter the hash symbol itself.
• Then press Enter. If the account exists, they will receive a friend request; if not, the system will notify you in the in-game chat (bottom left).

Most errors in VALORANT are not final. They can be quickly resolved if you know what to look for.
