Soon after Riot Games announced that Valorant would finally be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the multiplayer shooter entered a closed beta on consoles. A recent leak claimed that that beta would soon be ending, with the game allegedly set to release in full on consoles, and though that hasn’t quite happened, Valorant has opened up to everyone.
Riot Games has announced that Valorant is now available in open beta on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While codes were required to play the game on consoles up to this point, everyone can jump in now. Cross-play is also supported between consoles, though players on PC and consoles will not be able to play with and against each other.
How long Valorant will remain in open beta on consoles remains to be seen, but when it was announced for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in June, Riot said it would be releasing at some point in 2024, so one way or another, we’ll know more about its full console release sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more updates until then.
