VALORANT Integrates with Discord: Free Reward to Celebrate the Launch
June 21, 2026 · XPFeed
Riot Games and Discord are joining forces to make coordinating matches with friends easier than ever, celebrating with a completely free content pack for your server.
Riot Games has announced an official Discord integration that changes how VALORANT players organize their sessions. According to the official VALORANT blog, the partnership is already live and brings new social features designed to remove friction between the community and the game client.
What Changes with the Discord × VALORANT Integration
Starting now, any player can link their Riot account to their Discord account to access several new features directly from the PC client. The standout addition is the ability to invite Discord friends to a match without minimizing the game — just copy the lobby link and share it in whatever server or channel your squad calls home. On top of that, VALORANT's social panel will now show which Discord friends are online and playing at any given moment, making group formation significantly easier.
The Gift: A Free Content Pack Loaded with Goodies for Discord
To celebrate the launch, Riot is giving away an exclusive free pack designed to deck out your Discord servers. The bundle includes custom voice lines from five agents — Clove, Viper, Jett, Gekko, and Omen — to use as sounds in your server, exclusive invite GIFs to rally your team when it's time to queue up, and a collection of emotes and stickers inspired by in-game graffiti. All of it is completely free, with no purchase or subscription required.
How to Link Your Accounts: Step by Step
The process is straightforward from PC: open VALORANT, head to the social panel, click "Add Friends," and select "Link Discord Account." Once you confirm the permissions, any friends who have also linked their Riot account will appear in your list automatically. If you're away from your PC, you can also complete the link through the Riot account website under the "Linked Accounts" section.
Why This Integration Matters More Than It Seems
VALORANT has relied on Discord for years as a parallel tool to keep its community together, and formalizing that connection inside the game client itself is a meaningful step. Cutting down the friction between a server conversation and an actual match could make a real difference in retaining casual players — precisely the audience most likely to drift away. If you already picked up the 2026 Retribution Bundle, this integration is another sign that Riot continues to invest in the community side of the game, beyond paid cosmetic content.
