Valorant Launches for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on July 26 – Rumour

Riot Games announced last month that its uber-successful multiplayer shooter Valorant was finally headed to consoles, and though a release date for the game wasn’t announced, it quickly entered beta on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Now, it seems like the game is approaching a surprise full release. 

That’s as per prominent leaker @eXtas1stv on Twitter, who claims that Valorant’s ongoing limited console beta is set to come to an end, with the game set to be shadow dropped on consoles later this week, on July 26. Riot Games itself hadn’t previously said much about when exactly the shooter would release for consoles, other than confirming that it would be coming at some point this year.

Valorant is currently available on PC. Riot Games has confirmed that the game will not feature gyro support on PS5, since the Xbox controller does not support the tech, and the studio wants to maintain competitive parity across all platforms. 

Meanwhile, the aforementioned leaker has also claimed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is headed to Game Pass later this week. Read more on that through here.
