After a week of open beta testing, Riot is today rolling out Valorant on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The game is officially available as of today, with all maps, characters, modes and features in place.
Valorant on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 is available as a free download in North America, Europe, Japan and Brazil. It is Riot's very first live-service console game, after years of primarily being a PC developer. While console players on Xbox or PlayStation will be able to play with each other, PC gamers will not be matched with console gamers in order to maintain competitive integrity. Due to the more sluggish nature of gamepad controls, PC gamers often have an advantage in shooters due to the more granular and speedy control offered by a mouse.
Moving forward, all Valorant updates will land on PC and console platforms simultaneously, so there won't be a situation where PC players get a new map or playable character and console gamers have to wait.
While Valorant is a free to play game, it is supported by a seasonal battle pass, as well as a skin shop, where players can buy single or packs of weapon skins.
