Riot Games announced that its popular free-to-play shooter VALORANT will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at the 2024 Summer Games Fest. A limited beta will kick off on June 14.
The console version will feature remapped controls so that it feels natural to play as well as a new hipfire feature called Focus that aims to recreate the feel of hipfiring in VALORANT on PC. This shooting mode allows players to maintain their normal sensitivity when moving throughout the maps and then use Focus mode to reduce sensitivity to allow for more precise movements and shots such as peeking corners, dodging utility, landing headshots, and so on.
The game will feature a “connected, shared inventory” between console and PC as well as cross-progression. However, cross-play will be disabled.
