After much anticipation, Riot Games confirmed that Valorant would finally arrive on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game transitioned into a closed beta for console users after the announcement. Recently, a leak suggested ending this beta phase, hinting at the imminent full launch of the game on consoles. However, the situation has shifted; Valorant is now accessible to all.
In an exciting update, Riot Games revealed that Valorant is currently in open beta for users on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Previously, players needed specific codes to access the game, but now, anyone can jump in and start enjoying the multiplayer experience. It's also worth noting that cross-play functionality enables players on different consoles to team up, although players on PC and console platforms are not able to compete against each other.
While the duration of the open beta on consoles is uncertain, Riot Games announced back in June that the game would officially launch sometime in 2024. With this timeline in mind, players can expect more information about the full console release in the near future.
