Everyone’s favorite not-at-all-scary anti-cheat lead @Arkem lays out the what, why, and how of VALORANT anti-cheat. Learn all about it here:
.@RiotSuperCakes and @RiotZiegler are back this week with some commitments on disruptive player behavior and more about what’s going on with our servers. Catch up on the latest:
For the rest of the world, we're just getting started. We'll see you soon.
Phase 2 of VALORANT Closed Beta is live. Latin America, Brazil, and Korea: You're up. Show us what you've got.
As thanks for all your interest in the VALORANT closed beta and hanging out with the @Twitch community, we have a small gift: an exclusive player card for anyone who's watched enough streams to be eligible for CB. Even if you don't get in, this'll be in your account at launch.
Congrats to TenZ for being the first to reach VALORANT rank in North America!

With Unreal Engine deprecating Shader Model 4 and requiring SM5, we'll also need to increase the min-spec GPU requirement for VALORANT from Intel HD 3000 to Intel HD 4000. You can still play with lower-spec GPUs, but if compatibility issues come up, we won't be able to fix.
In the next 30 minutes we're going to turn ranked on in North America.
If all goes well there, we'll turn ranked on in Europe after the hotfix patch (so after 9:30AM CEST on May 1).
We also... reserve the right to turn off ranked at any time if things get weird.
@RiotMorello: Tonight at 9pm PST, myself and @ZachBetka, @pwnieride ,@RiotMEMEMEMEME, @Altombre and our Twitter-less VFX Lead Niles Tuck…
Track is Supercharged by @blankemusic and @KayohOfficial.

Maintenance is taking a little longer than expected for NA. Servers will be back up closer to 12pm PT (EU servers are not expected to have this delay).
We meant May 1 for EU. The letters are close together.
Tomorrow we're deploying a hotfix patch to address some exploits, fix two bugs, and revert the headshot sound.
NA's patch hits April 30 @ 4:30AM PT, back up @ 10AM PT.
EU's patch hits April 31 @ 3:30AM CEST, back up at 9:30AM CEST.
If all goes well after this... maybe ranked.
