Valorant Gains New Social Sign-in Options

Oct. 18, 2020

To give gamers more sign-in options in its games,Valorantdeveloper, Riot Games has started rolling out“social sign-in integration”for all its games. Riot announced the feature just recently and said that all the social sign-in options would be available for players by the end of this month.

While the developer said that the new sign-in options are coming soon, I have already started seeing them for Valorant. I am an avidValorantplayer and I noticed the social sign-in options while logging into the game earlier this week, even before reading the official announcement post from Riot.

So, I am assuming that the developers aretesting the social sign-in options in Indiawith the activation of itsnew Indian serversfollowing the start ofValorant’s third season.

Valorant: More Sign-In Options

So, with the activation of this feature, players will now see the option to sign into their Riot accounts via third-party services. And the third-party services on offer are:

According to Riot, initially,selective players will get the handy ‘Google Sign-In’ option, with the other two options being added by October 29th. However, all three options are already available here in India.

Now, you might be thinking, “I already have a Riot account. So what is the use of more sign-in options for me?” Well, Riot says,“For new players, this is a quick and easy way to use your existing social sign-ins to create a Riot Account, and for our veteran players, this gives you more options should you prefer a particular sign-in method.”

So, with the social sign-in integration, we will have more options to sign in to our Riot accounts, whether on PC or onmobile platforms. Moreover,more sign-in options mean more securityfor the account, in case we forget the original login credentials.

However, if you do not like the idea ofgiving access to more data to yet another tech company, thenyou can always request Riot to delete your social sign-in databy raising a ticket on its platform.
