Getting black bars in Valorant is all about playing with your display settings. You gotta go into the graphics card settings on your PC. If you're using NVIDIA, open the NVIDIA Control Panel, head over to 'Adjust desktop size and position' under 'Display', and select 'Aspect ratio'. Then, choose a resolution that's not native to your monitor, and boom, you've got those classic black bars. AMD users, fear not, you can do something similar in the AMD Radeon Settings.

Why would anyone want black bars? Just play in full screen like a normal person. It's 2023, not 1999.

Just change your in-game resolution! Pick a 4:3 resolution in the game settings, and you're likely to see those black bars pop up because it doesn't match your monitor's aspect ratio. It's a pretty straightforward way to get that old-school feel.

I did the NVIDIA control panel trick for the black bars, worked like a charm. Playing with black bars gives me that nostalgic feel, plus it helps me focus better on the center of the screen, where all the action happens!
