How to update Valorant?

Developers have fixed the issue with a patch update. However, if you’re still running into the mismatch error, you and the player you're inviting will need to close out of the game and restart the client. This will prompt you to download the latest version of Valorant. If the prompt doesn't appear on startup, you will need to re-download the game using the link here.

However, it is also likely that the new update hasn't arrived, and your region is yet to receive the latest patch. In that case, you won’t be able to fix the issue right away if you’re looking to squad up with players in another region. You will actually have to wait until the patch is available for your region. If your game is running the latest version and you continue to encounter the same issue, you may try to re-download Valorant or run the installer again to pick up the latest patch update. Once updated, you shouldn't face the Valorant version mismatch fix.
