Introduction

This tutorial will guide you on how to play VALORANT on any ultrawide monitor without the need for additional downloads or modifications. The method described here is safe to use and will not result in a ban. While there are some downsides, such as a limited field of view and challenges while streaming, this approach allows you to enjoy VALORANT in a wider format.

Step 1: Adjust Your Monitor Settings

Before launching VALORANT, you need to configure your monitor settings to ensure optimal gameplay.

• Open your monitor's display settings.

Set the resolution to match your ultrawide screen. Common resolutions include

• 2560 x 1080 for 21:9 aspect ratio
• 3440 x 1440 for 21:9 aspect ratio
• Make sure the refresh rate is set to the highest available to enhance gameplay fluidity.

Step 2: Modify VALORANT In-Game Settings

Once your monitor settings are adjusted, you need to modify the in-game settings for VALORANT.

• Launch VALORANT and navigate to the Settings menu.
• Go to the Video tab.
• Change the Resolution to match your monitor’s resolution (e.g., 2560 x 1080 or 3440 x 1440).
• Set the Display Mode to Fullscreen for the best performance.

Step 3: Adjust Aspect Ratio in VALORANT

To ensure that the game fits your ultrawide monitor properly:

• In the same Video settings menu, look for the Aspect Ratio option.
• Set it to 16:9 (if available) to maintain proper scaling.
• If there’s no option for ultrawide settings, simply proceed with the current setup.

Step 4: Test Your Setup

After configuring the settings, it's time to test how the game looks and feels.

• Start a practice match or a custom game to evaluate the display.
• Pay attention to the field of view (FOV) and ensure you're comfortable with the zoom level.
• Make adjustments as necessary based on your experience.

Additional Considerations

• Remember that using an ultrawide monitor can lead to a "stretched" view. Your friends may not see chat messages and other UI elements clearly if you stream.
• Keep an eye on community feedback to stay updated on any changes that might affect ultrawide gameplay.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can enjoy VALORANT on your ultrawide monitor without any additional software or risks. Make sure to adjust your settings for the best experience, and be aware of the potential downsides when sharing your gameplay. Enjoy your gaming!
