Following the error code 57, Valorant players face yet another challenge in Error 68. There seems to be no end to these petty problems which keep us from enjoying the game, however, like most Valorant errors, there is yet another simple fix to it. Follow to guide to fix the error.
VALORANT ERROR CODE 68
Error code 68 pops up when the client faces a connectivity error. It is more annoying than most as players face this mid-game, which can be often during crucial moments. The client forces you to restart which is fixes the problem in more cases than not. If an actual connection error doesn’t exist, a simple restart will do the trick but if it doesn’t look for alternate fixes.
Server outages might spark this error so check for any unscheduled maintenance or DDOS attacks that lead to a server shutdown. The chances of both are negligible so check for routing issues for ISPs that provide varying IP addresses. Using custom DNS or a proxy is not advised. Check for any antivirus software whose firewall might block the game momentarily.
The only fix validated by Valorant players and Reddit is to restart the game client. A simple restart fixes it for most players; if the issue persists try a reboot.
With the highly anticipated Episode 3 of Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant being just around the corner, fans are looking forward to meeting the upcoming Valorant agent whose identity has not yet been revealed by the developers.
However, it seems like the new agent has been teased by Riot once again, as a teaser that has been revealed during today’s Summer Game Fest live event might be displaying what could possibly be the first looks on the new Valorant agent.
From the initial looks, the teaser seems to be showing a robot agent that has been created by Killjoy. While no official info has been released regarding this new agent by Riot Games, fans are suspecting that this agent might have been created by Killjoy herself to defend against mirrored agents attempting to steal the Earth-1 Radianite.
Earlier today, the official Valorant Twitter account, which seemingly got hacked by Killjoy, posted a cryptic image with the caption, “Variable removed, Alarmbot down,” which further fuels the previous theory.
If you’ve been following us for a while, then you’re probably already aware of the teasers that had been found in the new map Breeze regarding the upcoming agent. In case you haven’t, you can read all about it here.
The upcoming agent, which has been codenamed ‘Grenadier,’ will be introduced to Valorant alongside the Episode 3 update that’s set to arrive around the third week of June.
Initially, Blizzard had no plans to bring crossplay to Overwatch as it could cause “balancing” issues but in a surprising turn of events, Overwatch is finally getting crossplay, and all players, regardless of the platform they’re playing on, can now match with each other. Players who set up crossplay and login to the game before 31 December 2021 will get a golden loot box to celebrate the huge addition to the game. This also means that Overwatch 2 will definitely get crossplay for both its PvE and PvP modes.
How to enable crossplay on consoles?
With the crossplay beta update on the horizon, here’s how you can enable crossplay on your account.
Login to your Battle.net account once you’ve entered the serial number or scanned the QR code successfully to link your console with your Battlenet account.
PC users won’t have to take any additional steps as crossplay will be enabled for them by default.
As the UEFA EURO 2020 kicks off later this week, Epic Games will be adding England’s national team captain Harry Kane’s skins in Fortnite Season 7. The battle royale title has had quite a few collaborations with popular celebrities from various fields. With a formidable player base, the game has been a colossal success for Epic Games.
Alongside the English captain, German star Marco Reus will also be getting his own skins in Fortnite. In the past, Fortnite has also collaborated with Brazilian sensation Neymar Jr. Besides soccer, Neymar is also a passionate gamer.
Like always, they will have emotes and back bling in the game excluding Gliders and Pickaxes. One of Harry Kane’s emotes apparently goes by the “HurriKane”, which is hilarious in itself. The skin will go live on the marketplace at 8:00 PM ET on June 11, 2021.
Harry Kane’s skin will be available in a bundle with Marco Reus’s skins but it’ll also be available separately as an individual skin. The price and the duration for which the skin will be up for sale on the market are not released until now.
Besides the skins and emotes, Epic Games will also be hosting a $50,000 regional event titled Fortnite UEFA EURO 2020 Cup. The two-day tournament is scheduled to commence on June 16, 2021.
Dream’s rise to the top of the Minecraft content industry was filled with innumerous beef and dramas and more often than not, his fight is with his own fans, as is the case yet again this time around.
Being one of the most popular Minecraft content creators exposes his smallest of actions to the world and sometimes it lands him on the receiving end of his critics. His outspoken nature and inability to hold back his true feelings have earned him a publicly trending hashtag on Twitter calling for him to be ousted from the community.
Fans are very critical of a statement made against them by their favorite Minecraft YouTuber. Dream disagreed with a person of color calling him out for “demonizing rap music” among his anti-black fans before stating that he does not share any racist views nor does he support anyone doing the same.
Fans are pulling out moments of display of racism by Dream and accusing him of getting away with statements constructed with twisted lies and throwing his fans under the bus when he gets called out for “anti-black” activities.
“I don’t support any form of racism or any anti-black or anti-minority behavior,” “If you do at all, get out of the community. You’re not welcome nor are you wanted. Ever.” replied Dream to critics.
Dream’s response has come from his alternate Twitter ID and nothing can be accounted for unless he produces an official response. Unless he can keep his fans and critics satisfied, his position in the community won’t remain unharmed for long.

Riot Games’ Project A turned one on 2 June, and stats show that its journey so far has been extraordinary.
When Valorant was released in 2020, it enjoyed plenty of limelight, but it was all under the shadow of Valve’s shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Striking similarities between the two games triggered a 2009 deja vu when DotA’s rival, Riot’s MOBA League of Legends, was released. However, recent data revealed that not only Valorant has gotten shot of CSGO’s umbra, but it’s boasting insane numbers.
When Valorant came out of beta, many claimed that it’s likely a fad like dozens of game released during the pandemic. Riot’s shooter enjoyed massive traffic upon release, but unlike other games, its rush hour had a longer life.
Riot Games’ fresh and official numbers show that an average of 14 million PC players log into the game every month. On Valorant’s first birthday, the developer announced that their first tactical baby hit half a billion games played in its first year.
“For us, it is incredibly exciting to like, in just a year, be able to build that kind of momentum,” Donlon said. “And now to maintain that kind of momentum for a while now. I think it’s a testament to our dev team and all of their commitment to our player base. It definitely exceeded our expectations at launch and now has like come back to a state where we’re like ‘wow, that wasn’t just a launch-day fluke.”
The game has flocked a plethora of CSGO’s player base and has managed to beat its competitor on several grounds. Fourteen million monthly users is a massive number for a game that is still finding its footing in esports and has just completed one year.
Valorant becomes an esports sensation on Twitch in 2021
When you develop a first-person shooter like Valorant that is exceptionally tactical and has that five versus five competitive pizzazz, it’s not just the player base that holds value. In the tac-shooter universe, esports and viewership contribute just as much to the bucket. LAN events are the key ingredient to a game’s popularity in esports, but Valorant didn’t have that luxury.
Riot’s shooter dropped with a bang during the pandemic, and while it gained steam among online players, the LAN feeling was missing. The game was always popular among the fans, as most streamers jumped on the Valorant hype bandwagon, taking its viewers along on the ride. However, the LAN relish was desperately needed.
The incredible hype was expected when Valorant’s first LAN was announced in VCT 2021 Stage 2 Masters Reykjavík. The event completed the missing piece of the puzzle that made Valorant an esports phenomenon in 2021.
VCT MASTERS 2
Recent data revealed by Streamcharts shows that Valorant managed to jump through the hoops after a whole year, becoming the second most-watched esports on Twitch. The shooter has climbed two spots in a month to acquire the fourth position in the most-watched category. The month of may was historic for Valorant, as the first LAN event gave a much-needed nudge to Riot’s shooter.
With hundreds of streamers playing Valorant and VCT: Master 2’s soaring viewership, the game managed to garner a total of 99.9 million watch hours in the month of May. Most of the numbers came from the tournament, as the tense showdown between Sentinels and Fnatic peaked over 1 million concurrent viewers, making it the most-watched VALORANT esports match so far. The second-highest peak emerged during Team Liquid vs Version1 game, which 748K concurrent viewers watched. More than double the previous record, 363K viewers scored during the NA Stage 1 Masters.
StreamsCharts May
Stats also show that most of these numbers come from Twitch, which has helped Valorant become one of the biggest esports titles on the Amazon-owned broadcast site. During the first two stages of VCT, the platform contributed 86% of the hours watched live while YouTube and Facebook took up 13% and 1%, respectively. In May, The game has breezed past other popular competitive titles, becoming the second most-watched esports on Twitch. Valorant only has to beat its sister game, LoL, to acquire the esports throne on Twitch once and for all.
League of Legends boasted 173.51 million watch hours, which is a big but achievable number for Valorant considering the progress made in 365 days. Riot’s tac-shooter has heroically crushed some gigantic titles in terms of the player base and viewership quickly. Numbers and figures aside, the game also kept the esports spirit alive during the testing times of the pandemic.

Valorant is one of the most popular FPS games these days. Riot Games launch regular updates to keep up with the Valorant community. After launching Duality and Pride player cards, Riot has divulged the Valorant Episode 1 Ignition player card.
Valorant announced three limited-edition player cards during the YR1 event last week. Riot sent the first card of those three today to all the players. The Episode 1 Ignition card is now available in player’s inventory, inside the Collection.
In honor of VAL's first birthday, we're sending you a gift! Check your inventory for the EP 1 // IGNITION player card to commemorate one year of VALORANT. Here's to many more! pic.twitter.com/LCzl2MoeVR
Although Riot started distributing these cards through their website, the website went down due to heavy traffic. That’s the reason why Riot directly sent the card to all the players.
The Episode 2 card will be available on 14 June as a special Prime Gaming drop. You will be able to redeem the Episode 3 card in the YR1 event pass from 22 June to 7 July.
