Valorant is Out Now on Xbox Series X/S and PS5
After its open beta kicked off last week, Riot Games’ Valorant is now available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. A cinematic launch trailer is available, which sees two teams of Agents squaring off in Spike Rush. Check it out below.
Valorant first launched for PC in June 2020 and offers a mix of tactical first-person shooting a la Counter-Strike: GO alongside hero abilities seen in games like Overwatch. Players select an Agent and purchase weapons and other items before a round begins in Spike Rush. One side must plant the Spike while the other defuses, though slaying each other also works.
The roster has expanded significantly over the years but there are also other modes. These include Escalation (akin to Call of Duty’s Gun Game), Team Deathmatch, and Replication (where players cast votes on their Agent of choice, with the game randomly seFree Bonus on Registrationlecting one).
Valorant has amassed 28 million monthly players as of October 2023. Check out our review of the PC version and stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
