Riot Games attended Summer Game Fest today, and announced that Valorant<\/em> is coming to Xbox Series X|S this year, and our Limited Beta will be starting June 14!<\/p>\nValorant<\/em> is a 5v5 character-based tactical FPS where precise gunplay meets unique Agent abilities, creating the perfect sandbox for you to blend skill and creativity and create your own clutch moments. Whenever you play Valorant<\/em>, there\u2019s this special moment where everything will just click. Your teammate will throw out a Skye flash for you, you\u2019ll dash into site as Jett, get crisp one taps, reset your dash and look for more. Or maybe you\u2019re left in a 1v5 situation, but you\u2019ve got your utility and your aim is feeling clean on the day, and you clutch up for your team, everyone getting hyped in comms for you.<\/p>\nWe like to call that the Valorant<\/em> moment, where creativity meets clutch. And it was our dev team\u2019s main goal when we were bringing Valorant<\/em> to console. We wanted to bring it over only if you could feel that same rush with a controller in your hand.<\/p>\nOur global community has grown over the past four years, more than we ever could have imagined. We love seeing their clips, cosplays, fan art, montages, and more. And that\u2019s honestly what excited us most about our Limited Beta launch for console. We can\u2019t wait to get Valorant<\/em> in more players\u2019 hands, and can\u2019t wait to see what content you\u2019ll create. You will be a fresh set of eyes on our game, and we know you\u2019ll come up with new creative ways to play, think of new ways to combine abilities, and clutch rounds.<\/p>\nValorant<\/em> is a live service game. We have updates every two weeks, where we balance the game, and launch new content. You\u2019ll be getting the same patches at the same time on console as PC. So with the next update, you\u2019ll get to enjoy the new bundle balance updates, and more with everyone else!<\/p>\nIf you are someone who likes to swap between playing on PC and console, or you\u2019ve been a Valorant<\/em> player on PC but prefer to play on console, no worries \u2013 we\u2019ve got your back. Your Friends List, Collection (Skins, Player Cards, Gun Buddies, etc), Battle Pass progress, and Agent unlocks, will all carry over. While Valorant<\/em> will not be crossplay between console and PC, if you have friends who play on other consoles, you both can queue up and hit the ranked grind together.<\/p>\n![\"Valorant](\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/In-line-Asset_Xbox_Wire_Game_modes_VAL_Limited-beta-262b4648adfb55379ceb.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nOur Limited Beta begins on June 14 in the following regions: USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Throughout our Limited and Open Beta more regions will be made available and we\u2019ll continue to update availability throughout our roll out. If you want to hop into game, you can sign up to join the Limited Beta now at beta.playvalorant.com. If your region isn\u2019t listed, and you\u2019re interested in the Limited Beta coming to your region, we encourage you to still sign up. This will ensure you\u2019re registered if your region opens up during the Limited Beta, and will help us gather interests from all countries.<\/p>\n
If the Limited Beta is your first time playing Valorant<\/em> or making a Valorant<\/em> account, when you load in you\u2019ll have five Agents unlocked for you, which is our standard for all new accounts. You\u2019ll be able to unlock more as you play games, but if you have Xbox Game Pass, all Agents will be unlocked for you<\/strong>. If you have Game Pass it will also automatically unlock new Agents for you on day one as well, so whenever we launch our next Agent you\u2019ll be able to play them the minute they go live.<\/p>\nEvery Episode, we update our Map pool so that players can play on new Maps, and we can make adjustments to the ones we swap out, if they\u2019re needed. We want to get you all caught up to speed and have the same Map pool our current players have, but we know that that much content could be too overwhelming. So, over the course of the Limited Beta, we\u2019ll be rolling out our Map pool so that we can introduce you to them, and give you time to learn how to play them out:<\/p>\n
Unrated, Swiftplay, Deathmatch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- June 14: Ascent, Bind, Haven, Abyss<\/li>\n
