While on the other hand, the Senior Game Designer will "design and refine features, modes, and systems to help bring console game products to market."
Valorant Console Release Date and Rumors
Riot Games has revealed in the latest dev diary that they are working on bringing Valorant to other platforms, but it is going slower than expected. Thus, as of now, we cannot expect the game to release on console anytime soon, maybe not even in 2023.
Earlier, Joe Ziegler, Valorant Game Director at Riot Games, confirmed in 2020 that the team is exploring possibilities of bringing the game to console; however, he specifically mentioned that exploring possibilities isn't the same as confirmation.
We will keep you updated with all the latest information regarding this on this page, so make sure to keep an eye on it.
