Here’s why VALORANT ranked is down on July 30

If you’ve been trying to climb the ranks in VALORANT on July 30, you might have noticed that that’s not possible as the competitive queue is down. But don’t worry—it’s not your client or your connection. Riot Games made a surprise announcement just an hour before the downtime.

Riot said the downtime is to prepare for the future of its esport, something it expanded on a few weeks ago with its announcement of significant changes for the 2025 season. These updates include performance-based extensions for Ascension teams, a new Premier Invite Division, and an expanded Challengers calendar.
