We meant May 1 for EU. The letters are close together.
As it’s still in closed beta, the contents of the update are slim, but important. Here’s what’s changing:
It’s important to note that these small hotfixes aren’t indicative of the update cadence Valorant will be home to once it’s fully launched. There will likely be much larger content drops, fixes, and updates with a proper server maintenance schedule.
As soon as we hear any more maintenance or server news we’ll update this page immediately. Keep this page bookmarked for all the latest!
