We’ve been talking about it for a while and, during the Summer Game Fest 2024, Riot Games finally made the arrival of Valorant on console official, after having played for a few years only on PC.\r\nIn recent months there were There have been increasingly frequent rumors regarding this possibility, but no confirmation or hypothesis more realistic than others regarding this porting of the beloved shooter.\r\nBut during the main event of Geoff Keighley’s summer of video games, the confirmation arrived, with Valorant which is preparing to arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series of Xbox.\r\nThe PS5 version of Valorant will not include a popular feature because implementing it would put Xbox players at a disadvantage, according to Riot Games. The feature in question is gyroscopic aiming, supported by games like Call of Duty and Fortnite.\r\nAs such, lead developer of Valorant, Coleman Palm, has confirmed that the popular multiplayer shooter will not have gyroscopic support on consoles.\ r\n\r\nDuring an exchange on X, a fan pointed out that gyroscope pointing is as close to mouse-like input as possible and should not be overlooked. In response, Palm said that Xbox controllers (found on Amazon) don’t natively support gyroscope, so making it the standard way to play on console would give PS5 players an unfair advantage.\r\nFrom June 14 the game will face a closed beta (which will also involve Italian players), so that Valorant can adjust and optimize itself along the way before the final release. So we’ll see if the two communities will actually be on par.\r\nOf course, Valorant arrives at a decidedly inconvenient time for another shooter on consoles. Concord, which has already been criticized and now we also find out that it is not free.
