For some time now, a lot of rumors of VALORANT coming to console have been spreading. Now with Riot Games' recent job listing, these rumors might just become a reality. The developers recently posted on their website their search for a Senior Console Game Designer for VALORANT.
Article Continues BelowEven though it’s a bit too soon to assume a console version is potentially coming, we’re noticing a pattern here. Back when rumors for a mobile version were spreading, we somehow confirmed the information in a similar fashion. Riot Games during that time also posted a job listing looking for a mobile gaming development team. After that whole process, Riot Games finally announced a mobile version of VALORANT that is officially launching soon. Given how similar the circumstances are, we can slightly feel a console announcement coming in the near future.
As for crossplay concerns, it seems like a huge possibility for console and PC players to cross paths. Many shooter games such as Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Fortnite have a crossplay feature in their games. Plus, unlike mobile, we don’t think Riot would see any mechanical limitations when it comes to console and PC. For now, let’s just wait for Riot Games to make official statements or announcements regarding VALORANT Console. Soon enough, we'll be able to see VALORANT PS4, VALORANT PS5, VALORANT Xbox One, VALORANT Xbox Series X, and VALORANT Switch versions officially announced and available in online game stores.
Keep in mind that the console version is undoubtedly in its early development stage. If you’re curious when the game is coming out, our best bet would be sometime after the mobile release.
