Riot\u2019s tactical shooter Valorant<\/em> has been a PC-exclusive since it launched in 2020<\/a> \u2014 but that\u2019s changing very soon. The developer has finally provided some details on the console version of the game, which will be available in a limited beta on the PS5 and Xbox Series X \/ S starting on June 14th. You can register right here<\/a>. The beta will be limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and Japan, and Riot says that it will be \u201cpossibly rolling out to remaining global regions shortly thereafter.\u201d There\u2019s no word on when a full launch might happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Riot says the console versions of Valorant<\/em> feature \u201ccustom-built\u00a0gameplay\u201d and that crossplay between console and PC will not be available for competitive reasons. That said, the game will support cross-progression if you choose to play on both PC and console, meaning your skins and progression will carry over between platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe were adamant that\u00a0Valorant\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0core, competitive gameplay must feel natural on a controller,\u201d production director Arnar Hrafn Gylfason said in a statement. \u201cAnd \u2014 if we couldn\u2019t deliver on that gameplay promise \u2014 we had to be prepared to walk away from it. We hope we nailed it, but ultimately, our players will have the final say.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
