Some matches will be more challenging than others and last longer as a result. But how long does the average VALORANT game take? The stakes can increase as a VALORANT\u00a0match drags on since losing a game that lasts longer than average may feel worse than surrendering a game that seemed lost from the beginning. Knowing the length of an average\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0match can come in handy in many cases. You can finally calculate whether you have time to play that one last match, or it may be a sign for you to put your game face on since your match's taking longer than usual. How long does an average game take in VALORANT? If there aren't any AFK players or any reason for a game to stall, a standard\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0match usually lasts around 30 to 40 minutes. If every round ends up being a thriller and goes to the last second, your match will likely last longer than 40 minutes, while one-sided matches can take less than 25 minutes.\u00a0 How your rank affects game time Over time, as you climb higher in\u00a0VALORANT's\u00a0ranked system, you may realize that you may have more matches that end fast or last longer. Considering the level of competition increases in higher ranks, most players will be skilled enough to tell that they need to surrender a game early, or when they can turn it around and come back from a disadvantage. This means that most competitive\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0matches that feature high-ranked players will also last around 30 to 40 minutes, but there will be more outliers. Average VALORANT game length based on game mode Spike Rush: 8 - 15 minutesDeathmatch: 7 - 10 minutesStandard: 30
