You may have been itching to experience Riot Games’ competitive FPS on the Xbox console. After all, there have been rumours circling for a while about a console port. It seems that this dream might become reality sooner than we think. For now, you have some limited options to try the game on Xbox, but all signs point that a future release is imminent.

Can you play Valorant on Xbox?

There is currently no official public release for the Xbox consoles. However, at the time of writing, a limited Beta is available to test Valorant on both Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The catch is that it’s not open, meaning that you will need an invite to gain access to testing. Still, that’s a positive sign that indicates that we’ll see the game on Xbox sooner than we thought.

✓ Pro tip

Though Valorant is a free-to-play game, you can subscribe to Game Pass to play it on the Xbox app as well. This unlocks all current and future Agents and also gives you a 20% match XP boost to Battle Pass and Event content. This perk applies during console Beta too – but only on Xbox.

How to get into Xbox limited beta?

The only way to get into the limited Beta and try Valorant on Xbox is to get an invitation. To do that, you will have to sign up and hope you find an invite in your mailbox. Currently, this testing is limited to Europe, North America, and Japan. Also, you need a Riot ID account that’s in good standing, and it will only work for Xbox Series X|S. Sorry, Xbox One players!

✓ Pro tip

If you manage to get an invite via Riot’s referral link, you will also be able to use it up to five times. That means that you and up to four friends can enter the Beta.

When is Valorant coming to console?

We don’t have a concrete date yet on when Valorant will officially be released on consoles. The limited Beta started on June 14, 2024. After that, we can expect that there will be an open Beta at a later date. Only after that can we expect that an official release date will be announced. Until such time, we will have to keep up with the news and update you when any new information becomes available.

With these updates and the start of the Beta, it won’t be long before you’ll be able to frag out together with your friends on console. However, as far as it’s currently known, PC players and console players won’t be able to mix and crossplay together. The two platforms will remain separate to maintain competitive integrity.
