Valorant has launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S in open beta form, Riot has announced.
The free-to-play team-based shooter already enjoys enormous popularity on PC, where it launched first in 2020. But there are some key differences between the PC version and this console port.
On PC, hip-fire is Valorant's primary shooting mode, and aim-down-sights (ADS) is a secondary, supporting mode. For the console port, Riot created Focus, a new shooting mode that functions much like hip-fire but with reduced sensitivity.
In a post on Xbox Wire, Microsoft said Valorant on console lets players shoot from the hip whenever they need speed in moving both their camera and aim (think: peeking around corners and dodging) but with the ability to utilize Focus mode whenever they need to pull off a precise, calibrated headshot.
