Valorant is one of Riot Games' most popular titles and has built a huge fan base. Because of that, Valorant gets constant updates, that ensure the game is always delivering a great gaming experience.
These constant updates and adjustments can sometimes get confusing to keep track of. However, as these patches and changes are pretty regular, it's fairly simple to know when the next patch, episode, or act for Valorant will be.
New episodes are usually bigger releases and feature much more new content compared to acts. While patches are released regularly to adjust smaller features.
So, let's take a look at the expected patch schedule for Valorant in 2023 so that you don't miss a thing!
Valorant Release Timelines
Riot Games are always ones for regular updates and this is no different for the Valorant community. General patch updates are released every 2 weeks with minor bug fixes or some smaller-scale agent changes too.
New acts are usually released every three weeks and constitute more mechanical changes as well as bug or agent changes.
Updated episodes are the biggest of the three possible updates to the game. Episodes usually include some brand new mechanics, new agents, perhaps some map changes, and some other content too.
