Get ready for Valorant's Xbox Series X|S open beta
The gaming world is excited as Valorant, the 5v5 tactical shooter that has taken the PC gaming community by storm, is coming to consoles! The Xbox Series X|S open beta has officially begun, and it’s not just a simple PC download – it’s a completely remastered console experience that’s nothing short of amazing!
Valorant's incredible journey from PC to console is a great testament to Riot Games' unwavering commitment to expanding its reach and delivering a seamless gaming experience across all platforms. The move to console is a huge step forward, with many new features that keep the best parts of Valorant exactly as you know and love it, while incorporating a unique console gaming experience.
One of the most significant and exciting changes is the introduction of a new shooting mode called “Focus”. “Focus” mode is designed to perfectly mirror the precision of PC gameplay, allowing players to switch to a lower sensitivity during critical moments that require pinpoint accuracy. This is a complete game changer for console gamers! It offers a level of control equivalent to a mouse and keyboard setup.
The best part? Cross-play is enabled between consoles, so you can connect with friends and rivals regardless of their platform! However, in order to maintain competitive integrity, cross-play between PC and console will not be available, ensuring that every player is on a level playing field and that every match is a fair and exciting competition!
Riot Games has painstakingly and beautifully remastered Valorant for the Xbox Series X|S! They’ve ported mouse and keyboard controls to the gamepad and adapted the Agent’s abilities to the new controls. Every aspect of the game has been thoughtfully and refined to capture the dynamic pace and mechanical feel of the original – and it’s absolutely incredible!
When the open beta begins, players can look forward to the perfectly balanced experience that made Valorant a hit on PC! The vibrant community and ever-evolving nature of the game promise to keep the excitement alive on consoles – and it’s going to be a blast! Whether you’re a seasoned Valorant veteran or a newcomer looking to jump into the action, the open beta on Xbox Series X|S is your ticket to a world of tactical gameplay, strategic team play, and high-octane action!
If you're ready for some action, you can sign up for the open beta! As the game prepares for a full console release, there are plenty of surprises and updates to look forward to. So grab your controller, choose your agent, and get ready to battle across the globe in the Valorant Open Beta on Xbox Series X|S!
