Valorant is officially available on PS5 and Xbox Series

Since its release in 2020, Valorant has ended up establishing itself as a must-have for PC gamers who love competitive titles. Designed specifically for esports and using the codes put forward by Counter-StrikeValorant presents itself as a five-on-five FPS with a more than convincing vision of this formula, while knowing how to renew it thanks to the know-how of Riot Games.

And four years after its initial release on PC, Valorant is finally available on PS5 and Xbox Series in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and Brazil. Riot Games had decided to launch an open beta phase starting last June and which has just ended. The game is now fully available on consoles and the studio has done everything to put these new players in the best possible conditions.

Gameplay adapted to the controller

First of all, Riot Games confirmed the absence of crossplay between consoles and PC in order not to disadvantage the first players. On the other hand, PS5 and Xbox Series players can play together. Beyond this distribution of servers which aims to balance the forces, no difference in treatment should be noted between PC and console players. Riot Games assures that these two communities will benefit at the same time from the new patches and content updates.

Let’s also remember that Riot Games has made sure to adapt the gameplay of Valorant to the controller for example by implementing an aim assist system already praised by playerswhich automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the joysticks when the crosshairs cross an enemy. A more than necessary feature on a game of the genre that should guarantee console players instant pleasure, without making everything easier than necessary. Finally, note that Valorant is available for free, and this, right now on PS5 and Xbox Series.
