Updated VALORANT patch schedule will delay new content like agents or maps until a day later
While new VALORANT patches will continue to be released on Tuesdays, the fresh content like agents, maps, and acts won’t arrive in-game until a day later, according to the latest dev update.
Beginning with VALORANT Patch 9.00, which should line up with the release of Episode Nine, Act One in the final week of June, all new content will become available on the Wednesday after the patch day instead of on Tuesday. This includes new agents, maps, the start of acts, rank refreshes, and the act’s battle pass.
