StepbyStep Guide to Linking Your Accounts
Step 1: Open the Riot Games Client on Your PC

Start by opening the Riot Games client on your PC. This is the same client you use to log in to play Valorant. Once you're on the login screen, you might notice multiple options for logging in, including Xbox and PlayStation. For now, ignore these options.

Step 2: Log In with Your PC Account Credentials

Instead of selecting Xbox or PlayStation at the login screen, use the credentials of your existing PC account. This is the account you've been using to play Valorant on your PC. Enter your username and password, then click "Login."

Step 3: Navigate to Connected Accounts

After logging in, navigate to the settings or profile section where you will find the "Connected Accounts" option. This section allows you to manage and link different accounts to your Riot Games profile.

Step 4: Connect Your Console Account

In the Connected Accounts section, you should see options for both Xbox and PlayStation. If you haven't linked your console account yet, click on the plus (+) icon next to the console you want to link. For example, if you want to link your PlayStation account, click on the plus icon next to PlayStation.

Step 5: Enter Your Console Account Details

A prompt will appear asking for your console account login details. This is where you need to enter your Xbox or PlayStation account credentials. Make sure you enter the correct username and password for your console account.

Step 6: Confirm the Connection

After entering your console account details, the Riot Games client will confirm the connection. Once confirmed, your accounts are now linked! You can repeat this process if you want to link another console account, such as linking both your Xbox and PlayStation accounts to your Riot Games account.

Verify Your Items and Purchases
Now that your accounts are linked, it's time to verify that all your items and purchases have transferred over.

Step 1: Start Your Console

Turn on your Xbox or PS5 and log in to the console account that you just linked to your Riot Games account.

Step 2: Open Valorant

Launch Valorant on your console. Use the account details you linked earlier to log in.

Step 3: Check Your Inventory

Once you're in the game, navigate to your inventory or collection. Here, you should see all the items, skins, and rewards that you previously had on your PC account. Everything from your PC account should now be available on your console.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
While linking your accounts is generally straightforward, you might encounter some issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

Issue 1: Login Errors

If you encounter login errors when trying to connect your console account, doublecheck that you entered the correct credentials. Make sure there are no typos and that your caps lock is off.

Issue 2: Missing Items

If some items or purchases are missing after linking your accounts, ensure that you logged in to the correct Riot Games account and console account. If the problem persists, contact Riot Games support for assistance.

Issue 3: Connection Errors

Connection errors can occur due to server issues or internet connectivity problems. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and try again later if the problem persists.
