June 2, 2020 Marc Marasigan Comments

Valorant, Riot Games’ highly-awaited competitive online shooter, has officially launched worldwide. As expected, player have hit a few snags as soon as the servers came online. These include error codes, server instability, problems with unlocking battle pass rewards and skins, and missing Valorant Points purchased during closed beta.

Riot Games acknowledged the problems on Twitter saying that they’re on the case. The dev team also had to bring down the EU server to perform emergency maintenance related to server crashes. The EU server is still offline as of this writing.

The game launched at 5am PDT earlier today with a new season pass, a new beta game mode called Spike Rush, the new Ascent map, and a new hero named Reyna. You can watch the new hero in action below along with two new launch trailers while you’re waiting for things to settle down. You'll also find the full patch notes on the Valorant official site.
