There's now a maintenance notification for each region at https://status.riotgames.com/valorant.

Presumably, this means that the update will be:

  • from 6:00 - ~10:00 PDT, corresponding to 13:00 - ~17:00 UTC, for Brazil

    , Latin America
    , and North America

  • from 14:00 - ~18:00 PDT, corresponding to 21:00 - ~1:00 (2020-08-05) UTC, for Asia Pacific

    and Korea

  • from 20:00 - ~24:00 PDT, corresponding to 3:00 (2020-08-05) - ~7:00 (2020-08-05) UTC, for Europe

All times are on 2020-08-04 unless otherwise specified.
I've linked images of the maintenance notifications for posterity.

There's also a platform status in-game now: https://i.imgur.com/VYpa5s2.png

for NA servers, at least. I would assume that this is the case for other regions as well.

Edit: The patch notes have been published now: https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/valorant-patch-notes-1-05/

Am I misunderstanding?

It seems like the times are scheduled so each region is updated in the morning hours in their time zone. But Asia and Europe get the update in the morning of the 5th, while the Americas get the update in the morning of the 4th.

So why do they get the update effectively a day earlier?
Shouldn't the reasonable order be 1. Asia, 2. Europe and 3. Americas?

We do Americas first so we have more business hour time to respond to issues that might arise from the new patch. More eyes means faster resolution.

Should be a matter of moments. There was a connection drop to the datacenter that delayed us. I believe we're opening now-ish.
