Valorant free-to-play for all in early June

Valorant will leave closed beta status and go free-to-play for all on 2 June, Riot Games today confirmed.

The mixture of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Overwatch is currently in a limited closed beta, but that all changes at the start of next month. With the game’s full release also comes a full reset of K/D ratios, win-loss records and progression.

“Our goal has always been to bring Valorant to as much of the world as soon as possible, so we’re hyped to be able to do so on June 2,” said Executive Producer, Anna Donlon.

Fans were hopeful that Riot would announce console availability of Valorant, but that didn’t happen — the title is exclusively available on Windows PC.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
