Valorant open beta now live on Xbox Series X/S and PS5

Matthew Wilson July 26, 2024 Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming

Riot Games has been working away on Valorant for a couple of years now, securing a top spot as one of the most-played competitive shooters on PC. As of today, the game is now also freely available to play on consoles, including the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

While we initially thought this would be the game's launch, it is still in beta. However, no invites are required to play anymore, so all Xbox Series X/S and PS5 owners are free to download the game right now.

The open beta includes access to everything you need to get a feel for the core Valorant experience. The game has quickly become one of the most popular on PC, rivalling the likes of Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch. It has also made a fortune for Riot in skin sales, which there are plenty of.

If the console beta is anything like the PC beta, there may be some brief downtime between the end of the beta and the final launch version going live but the wait shouldn't be long.

KitGuru Says: Are you going to try Valorant on console now that the beta has opened up to all players?
