Sage in Valorant.

Valorant launches on June 2

Riot Games announced today that its team-based shooter Valorant will have its official launch for PC on June 2.

The free-to-play game has been in beta since April 7 and has already become a hit with many streamers, influencers, and pro players. That testing period will end on May 28. Once that happens, Riot will reset player accounts and patch in new content. Setting back player progress from a beta is common for competitive games like this, as it will put everyone on equal footing when Valorant launches.
