Video game developer and publisher Riot Games today announced the closed beta of VALORANT Console. The free-to-play, 5v5 character-based tactical shooter VALORANT, will soon be available to global players on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation5 (PS5) consoles. Check out the detailed information below.
VALORANT Console Limited Beta
It will begin with a limited beta – kicking off in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan on June 14, 2024. It will be possibly rolling out to remaining global regions shortly thereafter.
News of VALORANT’s console expansion and upcoming Limited Beta was announced on-stage at the 2024 Summer Game Fest event by VALORANT’s Executive Producer Andy Ho and Production Director Arnar Gylfason, marking a moment of notable growth into the console market for Riot Games. Global console players can register their interest in beta access at www.Beta.PlayVALORANT.com.
Both Xbox and PS5 formats feature custom-built VALORANT gameplay, upholding the game’s strict level of core, competitive gameplay, which remains the ultimate priority for the franchise’s expansion. In order to maintain VALORANT’s renowned standard for competitive integrity, cross-play will not be available between PC and console player matches.
“When exploring whether to bring VALORANT to additional platforms, we knew we had to be able to offer the same uncompromising, competitive experience that we’ve provided to PC players for years: a precise, team-based, tactical shooter,” said Arnar Gylfason, Production Director of VALORANT at Riot Games. “We were adamant that VALORANT’s core, competitive gameplay must feel natural on a controller; and – if we couldn’t deliver on that gameplay promise – we had to be prepared to walk away from it. We hope we nailed it, but ultimately, our players will have the final say.”
