com. Riot Games released the update for Valorant, a 2020 first-person tactical hero shooter developed and published by Riot Games. The game takes inspiration from the Counter-Strike series, borrowing mechanics such as the buy menu, spray patterns, and inaccuracy while moving.
Development started in 2014 and was teased under the codename Project A in 2019. The game was released on June 2, 2020, for Windows, and was ported to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in June 2024 without crossplay between PC and console clients.
A mobile version, Valorant Mobile, launched in China on August 19, 2025, with a global release set at a later date.
Sentinel Cooldown Changes
Cypher’s Spycam, Killjoy’s Turret, and Vyse’s Arc Rose now come back 15 seconds faster after being destroyed, TalkEsport reported. The new 45-second cooldown sits just below the 50-second cooldown on Initiator signature abilities. TalkEsport said Riot calls these “light changes” to encourage more back-and-forth between teams.
Cypher Adjustment
Cypher loses something too. Picking up his Spycam now takes longer to come back.
Assist Changes
Riot admits it changed assists back in patch 13.08, alongside the Performance Score update, but forgot to include it in the patch notes. A damage assist means dealing more than 10 damage to an enemy within 3 seconds of a teammate killing them. Another damage assist means dealing at least 50 damage to an enemy your teammates kill, at any point.
Replay Bookmarks and Gauntlet: Glitched
The patch also adds replay bookmarks and gives Gauntlet: Glitched five-player parties and new abilities.
What Happens Next
Riot says bigger changes may follow in a later patch.
