While Riot likes to keep things to a tight schedule when it comes to patches in VALORANT, you might still be wondering when the next update could arrive.
As a highly competitive esports title, VALORANT requires plenty of patches to keep things balanced - so the game gets a fair amount of scheduled updates, adding new items, changing various abilities, and balancing the various weapons available.
Do we know when the next update is?
We currently don't know when the next patch for VALORANT is, but based on the update frequency so far this year, we'll likely see one in the middle of May.
In 2023, there was an average of two updates per month, and so far that pattern has carried over into 2024.
VALORANT patch notes schedule (2024)
As a patch is launched, we'll add to the below table with links to the relevant update so you can check out everything that was added:
Date | Patch Number |
January 9, 2024 | 8.0 |
January 23, 2024 | 8.01 |
February 6, 2024 | 8.02 |
February 21, 2024 | 8.03 |
March 5, 2024 | 8.04 |
March 26, 2024 | 8.05 |
April 16, 2024 | 8.07 |
April 30, 2024 | 8.08 |
While most patches follow the linear X.0X pattern, some are missed or are simply internal pushes without major content or patch notes.
8.06, for example, was never 'officially' released, and we went straight from 8.05 to 8.07 without any delay to the standard release schedule either.
