Valorant patch 6.02 has been hit with a delay due to some issues with its testing stage.
On the expected weekend of the patch being in the PBE, no players could access the client.
This means that the patch was not tested by PBE owners and could not be released on the expected date.
So, Riot Games have delayed th patch to ensure that no glaring issues are going to affect gameplay.
As a company that prides itself on its content, this is a great move for the gaming giant.
But, the community are wondering when the new patch will be released.
So, let's look at the release date and time for Valorant patch 6.02 and how this might look for all players.

What was the Delay for the new Valorant Patch?
Patch 6.02 was not the main issue and the cause of the delay, instead it was the actual PBE client.
The testing stage on the PBE was supposed to begin on January 21 2023. However, this was not possible.
Players on the PBE were not even able to log in to see the new content on the PBE.
Because of this, Riot has decided to move the new patch to a later date by a week.
However, this supposedly has not affected the release dates afterwards.
Any further updates will be put directly into this article.
