VALORANT Closed Beta to Feature Four Maps and 12 Agents
VALORANT is making waves in the esports scene, even in its early days of the closed beta. But Riot Games is not resting on its laurels. The developers have confirmed that the official launch of the game will boast four maps and 12 agents, an upgrade from the current three maps and 10 agents in the closed beta. This news comes from Tyler Ezrberger, a staff writer for ESPN Esports.
Twitch Breaks Records with VALORANT
Riot Games’ tactical shooter, VALORANT, has garnered overwhelming support. The closed beta has contributed to Twitch achieving an all-time high of 4 million concurrent viewers, with VALORANT alone accounting for 1.7 million of those viewers. Additionally, VALORANT broke Twitch’s record for most hours watched in a single day for the FPS genre, accumulating 34 million hours watched.
Favorable Reviews from Streamers
Popular streamers like shroud and TimTheTatMan have praised VALORANT, with shroud calling it “incredible” and a “fucking gem,” while TimTheTatMan believes it could “be the next big thing.”
Challenges Faced by VALORANT
Despite its success, VALORANT has encountered some challenges. The launch of the closed beta caused server issues, and the game has also faced problems with account sellers and botters. Riot Games has had to intervene to address these issues.
In conclusion, while not everyone may have access to the closed beta of VALORANT, fans can anticipate new content being introduced when the game officially launches in the summer.
