Act IV of Season 26 is now live with major changes: sentinels (Cypher, Killjoy, Veto, Sage, Deadlock) are buffed, initiators (Sova, Fade, Skye, Breach, KAY/O) have reduced ability cooldowns, and the new Summit map joins competitive rotation.

Link your Discord and VALORANT accounts to access these new social features and claim the exclusive drop. The exact expiration date of the free pack is not specified in the article.
VALORANT Patch 12.10 has been deployed with detailed patch notes. The content includes a new map 'Escarmouche' added to the game, modifying the competitive map rotation. Full details of balance changes and mechanical adjustments are available in the official patch notes. Players should review the patch notes to understand how these changes impact their gameplay and strategy. No expiration date applies as these are permanent changes.
A new patch for Valorant has been deployed, bringing bug fixes and changes to Premier. The patch also introduces the Valorant My Card site, which allows players to customize their card and find players with similar priorities.
This patch adjusts several agents and weapons to refine the competitive meta. Some agents have their abilities modified to limit abuse or increase their usefulness, while weapons are rebalanced to reduce effectiveness gaps. The main impact is a shift in the meta with more diverse choices of agents and weapons in ranked play.
