VALORANT players can now jump back into the action as the servers have been restored following several hours of maintenance on May 14. The downtime was necessary to implement the latest updates from patch 8.09, which not only introduced a fresh Masters Shanghai home screen but also brought in-game enhancements and fixes.
While eager gamers awaited the return of their beloved tactical shooter, the developers did not specify an exact time for when services would resume. However, they hinted at a potential comeback around 11 a.m. PDT on the same day. This brief uncertainty was marked by players encountering the VALORANT error code VAL 46, signaling the server’s unavailability during the maintenance period.
