Most games like to spread their reach across multiple consoles and platforms. However, some titles stick to their niche, whether it be a PlayStation, Xbox, or PC exclusive. Let’s talk through the big question and see what can be seen.

Can you play VALORANT on Xbox?

I have bad news. No, you cannot play VALORANT on Xbox. VALORANT is a PC exclusive, meaning you’ll have to don the mouse and keyboard to insta-lock Reyna.

This is an unfortunate truth, but a truth nonetheless. VALORANT is not like Call of Duty or even the early Counter-Strike titles. There is no way to play VALORANT on an Xbox in any form. This doesn’t only impact Xbox gamers, but its console cousins as well. PlayStation and Switch gamers also cannot play VALORANT.

While we wait indefinitely forVALORANT to reach mobile phones, it seems we’ll have to also await its triumphant console reveal. However, there is something you may do if you want to use your Xbox controller for VALORANT.

Can you play VALORANT with an Xbox controller?

Yes, you absolutely can. However, there is a catch. Gamers looking to Y-Y, fakie, fakie an opponent on Breeze will have to use a third-party application to play VALORANT using an Xbox controller.

These third-party applications allow you to map certain controls to particular Xbox buttons. If you’re looking for a potential option,Joytokey is one of the most usedapplications. But, don’t get too excited.

There is also a possibility that your account will get banned. VALORANT has Vanguard, and it won’t take kindly to intruders. If you’re using a third-party application, Vanguard’s kernel-level anti-cheat will be able to detect it.

This could result in your account being banned, meaning you won’t be able to play VALORANT at all. So, yes: You can play with a controller, but at what cost?
