VALORANT Console Limited Beta Details
Schedule
- Start Date: June 14, 2024
- The beta will run until Riot Games is confident in the stability of the servers and code. The end date will be announced in advance on the official website and social media channels.
Maps
The beta will launch with a mix of new and old maps, with more being added over time. Eventually, the console version will have the same set of maps as the PC version.

VALORANT PC vs. Console
Account Content
Your VALORANT account content is shared between PC and console, including:
- Account Level
- Currencies (VP, Kingdom Credits, Radianite Points)
- Recruited Agents
- Weapon Skins
- Battle Pass and its progression
- Mission progression (daily and weekly)
Rank
Console players will have a separate rank and MMR from PC players. Crossplay is supported between Xbox and PlayStation, but not between consoles and PC to maintain fair play.
Progress and Purchases
Progress and purchases made during the limited beta will carry over to the full release of VALORANT on console.
VALORANT Crossplay
VALORANT supports crossplay between Xbox and PlayStation. However, PC players will not be matched with console players to ensure competitive integrity.
Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will enjoy the same VALORANT benefits on Xbox, but these benefits do not extend to PlayStation.
Controllers and Peripherals
Third-party controllers are not supported. Using a keyboard and mouse on console will result in a ban. VALORANT on console is designed to be played with a controller.
