How to Appear Offline in Valorant

Go offline and play peacefully!

Valorant is always fun when playing with your friends. But, there will be times when you want to play the game alone. In such instances, it is better to go offline and continue experiencing the game without any friends pestering you with invite notifications. Riot Games natively does not support any feature to go offline. Still, you can use third-party software like Deceive to achieve your goal.
