Is Valorant Available on PS5? How to Join Beta Testing
Alright, PS5 gamers, I know you’re itching to dive into Valorant, the tactical shooter that’s been blowing up the PC scene. So, here’s the lowdown on what’s happening with our favorite console:
Beta Testing and Full Release
- Limited Beta: A lucky few got their hands on the PS5 beta back this June. But don’t sweat it if you missed out; it was an invite-only event.
- Full Release: The bigwigs at Riot Games promise that Valorant will be fully released on PS5 (and Xbox Series X/S) before we ring in the new year. Mark your calendars!
Wanna Sneak into the Beta?
Well, the window’s kinda closed on that one. It’s a limited time, but don’t lose hope! You can still sign up for a Riot Games account and keep your eyes peeled for updates. Who knows, maybe they’ll throw another surprise beta party.
- Sign up for the VALORANT Beta or get a referral link from somebody who got an invite from Riot.
- Live in the NA, EU, or JP regions (may expand later)
What’s the PS5 Version Gonna Be Like?
- Valorant is getting a console makeover with custom controls and aim assist. Say goodbye to keyboard warriors and hello to thumbstick tacticians!
- You’ll probably be able to team up with your PC friends for some cross-platform mayhem. Just imagine the smack talk flying across platforms.
- Don’t worry; the core gameplay remains the same. You’ll still get that heart-pumping 5v5 action, unique agent abilities, and weapons that feel as smooth as butter.
