Even though there were initially no plans to release Valorant on consoles, in a recent turn of events, Riot Games has announced that the limited beta testing for Valorant Console will go live soon.
In a recent Twitter post, Riot Games announced that the limited beta testing of Valorant for consoles will go live on June 14. The beta will be available exclusively in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan for now. It will be accessible on next-gen consoles, specifically the Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5.
Riot Games has also confirmed that Valorant on consoles will not include a crossplay system in order to maintain full competitive integrity. Instead, it will be an independent port designed specifically for console play.
How to register for Valorant Console Beta?
First of all, players can see if they are eligible for the beta. Eligible players can register for access via the Valorant beta website.
Riot has not provided a time frame for when it will exit beta and be released fully on consoles. However, when the game’s beta came to PC, its full release took only a few months to get to 1.0.
What do we know so far about the matter?
Riot has announced that the Valorant Console will feature a cross-progression system, allowing players to access everything they own and have unlocked on PC.
Players interested in participating in the open beta can register through Valorant's official website. However, participation in the limited beta will depend on Riot Games providing players with a key, which is based on region and account eligibility.
The move to bring Valorant to console is unexpected given its reputation as one of the most challenging games due to its intricate gunplay mechanics and ability-focused gameplay.
Nevertheless, considering Valorant's successful adaptation to mobile platforms, expectations are high that the console port will offer players a solid gameplay experience.
