Valorant Dev Tracker

We know you loved the Yoru updates, but let’s take a minute to review some others on the Agent roster. @RiotMEMEMEMEME is here with your December State of the Agents:

Grab some friends and get in queue--we’re bringing back squad boost from Dec 22 - Jan 5. Earn more XP for every person in the party.

Snow, sand, or city streets--no matter what the season looks like, we hope it does you right. Happy holidays from the VALORANT team.

Today we're launching a months-long series that explores the health of VALORANT Gameplay Systems. The plan is to share and take feedback on where we are headed with work on AFKs, toxicity, smurfs, and match fairness.

Read our plans in the intro here:

Another 🎁 for you today:

Although we're happy with the state of match balance after the 5-stack changes, queue times were longer than we'd like. Today we were able to make changes to matchmaking for all regions that we expect to reduce queue times by nearly half!

‘Tis the season for giving and we’re ready to start it off right. Get your Exquisitely Wrapped Gun Buddy by logging in to your VALORANT account. It’ll take a bit for us to deliver to everyone’s inventory, but you’ll see it soon.

Shake the globe with your frosty plays. The Snowfall bundle is coming to your store today.
