Well, that didn’t take long, did it? Following its announcement for PS5 at Summer Game Fest, Riot Games launched a closed beta for Valorant that’s been running for several weeks now. That very same online test entered open beta last week, and now the game’s officially released. If you want to play the hero shooter, have at it – it’s free for everyone to download from today.
Valorant has been available on PC for several years now, but the developer is hoping to attract an entirely new audience with this console release. The free-to-play affair, which features a growing roster of characters all with different moves and abilities, is considered a compelling alternative to the likes of Overwatch 2.
