reinforcing rumors that the game will eventually be available on multiple platforms.
Valorant for consoles has recently received a job posting from Riot Games.Valorant was rumored to be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the past. A convincing hint seems to be this most recent listing.
First delivered in 2020, Valorant has become one of the most well-known serious FPS games out there.Valorant’s mobile release was confirmed by Riot Games last year. According to reports, the format will be identical to that of the PC version. Additionally, this raised concerns regarding the game’s future portability to other consoles.
Datamined clues and previous job postings on Riot Games’ websites seemed to indicate that Valorant was coming to consoles. However, players were provided with a hint of what to anticipate in their most recent job posting for a Game Design Manager for a console under Valorant.
The Game Design Manager is tasked with anticipating player needs on all relevant platforms and leading a team that is developing combat for Valorant on consoles. The Game Design Manager was required to adhere to the same design principles for the PC version and bring it to consoles, despite the fact that the job listing did not specify which platforms Valorant will be available on.
In the meantime, gamers indicated that they would like to give Valorant a shot when it launches on consoles. Some people are skeptical, bringing up the aim assist debate among FPS gamers. Despite the fact that some people don’t think Valorant would do well on consoles, citing Counter-Strike: Take, for instance, Global Offensive on the Xbox.
When it comes to creating games for various platforms, Riot Games has evolved into a creative company. League of Legends, the company’s other huge game, has a similarly successful mobile version: Rift Wild. It also has a number of spin-off games, like Ruined King, a turn-based role-playing game: A League of Legends narrative, Project L, a fighting game, and an unnamed
MMORPG. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Valorant would also be released on multiple platforms.
Even though there is currently no information regarding whether Valorant will be available for crossplay, players will continue to voice concerns regarding the possibility that features such as aim assist will cause problems among players. This topic has been discussed in Overwatch and Apex Legends gaming communities.
It would be interesting to see how players would adjust to controller gameplay in a game like Valorant where mechanical skill is required. At the same time, developers might look into the possibility of creating a separate Valorant game that delved into the lore because some fans have yet to find one.
Valorant is currently available for PC.
