In a major boost for Valorant players, Riot Games has introduced the highly anticipated replay system alongside cracking down on bots and squashing several bugs. This update promises smoother matches and fairer play across all platforms.
Replay System Goes Live
The new replay system is now available in Competitive, Unrated, Swiftplay, and Premier modes. This feature lets you review past games, analyze strategies, and improve your tactics—perfect for aspiring pros or anyone looking to up their game.
Massive Bot Ban Wave
Over the past six months, Valorant has banned a staggering 40,000 bots. This purge targets automated accounts disrupting fair play, ensuring more genuine matches and a better experience for everyone.
What Bug Fixes Are Included?
A rare glitch causing Yoru and Reyna to reappear in their original spots after using invisibility has been patched out. Plus, the RawInputBuffer setting is now enabled by default after its removal, which should lead to snappier controls and better performance overall.
Console-Specific Improvements
For console players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a fix for incorrect highlight behavior on dropped weapons and the Spike is coming in the next patch. Additionally, an issue with New Player Tips not displaying properly has already been resolved.
These changes show Riot's commitment to polishing Valorant across platforms. For full details, check the official Riot Games website.
