Greetings, gamers! Are you aware of the current information? Valorant, a tactical shooter thatwe have all been playing on our PCsand getting pumped up with adrenaline, is now coming onto consoles. You understood correctly! Those clever Riot Games people who created this tactical marvel have announced that Valorant will be available on Xbox and PlayStation.

Can you believe it? The timer has started, and the Valorant limited beta version is plannedto begin on June 14thon Xbox consoles. If you are as thrilled as I am, it will make you happy knowing that registrations for this beta are now open. So, if you want to get in on the action before anyone else does – take advantage of this opportunity by heading straight over to their website and signing up yourself.”

Since its debut in 2020, Valorant has been a special treat only for PC players. This game shines with its 5v5 tactical shootouts. However, this exclusive status will alter soon because the Valorant beta version will be accessible on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5 in some regions, such as the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and more.

There is no need to fear. Riot Games assures us that the list will include other regions after this first introduction. However, they have kept us in suspense about when the complete version will be accessible on consoles.

We’re holding a Limited Beta to make sure VALORANT is console-ready, and we won’t close the doors until we’re confident that our servers and code are fully locked and loaded. That said, we will give you as much advance notice as we can when we do settle on an end date, including updating this article and sharing the details on our social channels.

Moving on, those who succeed in getting into the beta have an extra treat. You can welcome five friends to come along and try out Valorant with you on a fresh platform. However, there’s a little twist: console players won’t be able to cross-play with their PC buddies.

Riot Games explained this decision, saying it’s to maintain the game’s competitive fairness. But they don’t leave us with any information. Cross-platform progression is a yes, which signifies that your Valorant account will match up on both PC and console—ensuring you maintain what you’ve achieved, like progress, skins, and other items.

For those who are unaware, Valorant is not a regular shooter. It’s an online multiplayer game in which two groups of five players compete against each other—one group attacks while the other defends. The aim?

Acquire victory in 13 rounds, which is possible by eliminating the other team or finishing objectives-related tasks. Valorant’s varied agents make it distinct – every agent has unique skills that could change the outcome of a battle.

Now, it’s time to ask yourself: Are you ready for Valorant on consoles? This is an opportunity for all players, whether they have a long history with PC gaming or are just starting in this game.

Get prepared by signing up for the beta and marking your calendars – June 14 will be an important day. Let’s make history together in the world of Valorant. See you on the battlefield!
