DOC Riot Games

JAKARTA Riot Games announced that Valorant was launched on the Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 (PS5) consoles. The game is being extended to several countries in stages. On June 14, Riot Games tested the Valorant game in a limited beta version. The game can only be accessed in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and Japan during the testing period and Riot promises to launch a stable version in the near future. This promise was finally fulfilled because Valorant was already seen in several PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. As when tested, the Valorant version of the console was only visible in the US, Canada, to Japan. It is not yet known when this game will be expanded to more countries. The valorant version of the console has the same gameplay, hero, and capabilities as PC versions. Unfortunately, the games available on the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X do not support the crossplay between consoles and PC due to specially designed gameplay.

Riot only added that the cross-progression capability so that the players could switch devices without a hitch. All actions taken on the console, such as selecting the skin and history of the last game, will be seen on PC. "We insist that the competitive Valorant game core must feel natural to the controller," said Riot Games Production Director Arnar Hrafn Gylfason, quoted from The Verge. "If we can't fulfill the game's promise, we have to be prepared to leave it." Riot Games will not differentiate Valorant updates in PC and console versions. The game will receive simultaneous software updates, including equilibrium patches, new agents, map updates, and much more.
