We have PlayerIGN to thank for the latest discovery.
In February 2022, a strange job posting appeared on the Riot Games website. The position of (senior game developer) in itself does not mean anything extra, but the word “console” caught the attention of many users at the time. In addition to the mobile version, they can also work on the console version in-house for a long time, but it seems that additional labor is required.
At that time, data miner Sheena discovered two new scripts related to the console version. These are the error messages that will appear if Valorant loses connection to the PSN or Xbox Live services for some reason. Then in January 2023 The developers also admitted thisThe Valorant mobile and controller are also being prepared at the Riot Games workshop.
The console version of VALORANT is hinted at in Riot Games’ job listings:
You will lead a team responsible for how we bring VALORANT to players.

Is a console version getting close?
PlayerIGN has once again discovered that the company is announcing new jobs on its own platforms. Based on the script and the situations, we can be more certain that the project can progress at a particularly good pace. Based on previous rumors, Valorant should hit Xbox and PlayStation by the end of 2023. We’ll likely have to wait until 2024 for the mobile version, but Riot Games could surprise us at any time. The bigger question, of course, remains how the developers want the cross-platform play/play solution, if they make way for it at all.
