Riot Games, an American video game developer, has recently announced that their popular tactical shooting game, Valorant, will be coming to gaming consoles. This news has excited many fans who have been waiting to play the game on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. The limited beta version of Valorant is set to be released on June 14 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5 in select regions such as the US, UK, Canada, and Europe.
Since its launch in 2020, Valorant has been exclusive to the Windows platform on PCs. However, with the upcoming release on consoles, more players will have the opportunity to experience the 5v5 tactical shooting gameplay. While the full version release date for gaming consoles has not been confirmed yet, Riot Games has assured that it will be available in more regions shortly after the initial beta release.
One important note for console players is that cross-playing between Xbox and PlayStation will not be allowed. This decision was made to ensure competitive integrity within the game. Despite this limitation, players will have the convenience of cross-platform progression, meaning that their in-game progress, purchases, and account data will be synchronized across both PC and console versions of Valorant. This includes Battle Pass progress, recruited Agents, purchased skins, and more.
Valorant is a popular online multiplayer tactical first-person shooting game where two teams of five players compete against each other. One team takes on the role of attackers while the other defends. The objective is to win rounds by either eliminating the opposing team or completing specific objectives such as planting or defusing a ‘spike’. Each character in the game, known as agents, has unique abilities that can be used strategically during gameplay.
Overall, the upcoming release of Valorant on Xbox and PlayStation consoles opens up new opportunities for players to enjoy the game in different ways. With the promise of cross-platform progression and exciting tactical gameplay, fans can look forward to experiencing Valorant in a whole new light. Stay tuned for more updates on the official release date and additional features that will enhance the gaming experience for console players.
