Riot Games generally keeps things under wraps pretty well, so players do not get any early leaks. Valorant has recently received some great updates where a new champion has been revealed along with new changes to its gameplay. Players have been speculating a  Valorant PS5 Beta release now after a new job posts by Riot.

Valorant is a free-to-play FPS shooter currently available on only PCs. However, there had been several reveals about Valorant coming to consoles as well. This news is amazing as other popular shooter games like Fortnite also have crossplay between consoles and PC. However, console Valorant might be closer than you think.

Riot will most probably be hiring Play testers and roll out the game once it is properly optimized and troubleshooted for consoles. Additional challenges like aiming with a controller will also need to be addressed. There is still a lot of work to be done, but at least console players can rest assured that Valorant might release on consoles by late 2024 or 2025.
