Summer Games Fest Sees Riot Finally Bring Valorant Officially To Consoles!

Riot launched the hero shooter FPS Valorant way back in 2020, and since then, console gamers have not been able to play until Summer Games Fest 2024 announced it finally is.

Riot Games has finally torn back the curtain and announced that its free-to-play hero shooter, Valorant, will finally be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S during Summer Game Fest 2024. While it has been rumoured (basically since its release), fans everywhere finally have an official announcement, and the announcement from Valorant developers Arnar Gylfason and Andy Ho can be seen below.

According to the official Riot Games press release, the architecture for Valorant on consoles will have “custom-built gameplay” and that goes for both the Xbox Series S/X and PS5. Notably, Riot Games has also announced the console versions and the PC version will not be able to cross-play.
