Valorant officially launched on June 2 and is available for anyone keen to try out the new competitive shooter created by Riot Games. Players had the chance to test it out by accessing it via limited beta keys, which had been circulating in waves via Twitch feeds and emails. During its beta, players had the opportunity to test the competitive ranked mode, but with the official release of the game, this mode has disappeared and is no longer available.
At this time, Riot Games has not clarified when it plans to reintroduce games ranked in Valorant. The hope of removing ranked play when Valorant launched was to ensure that new players had the chance to try out the game and learn the basics before they had the chance to jump into a truly competitive landscape. If players have more time with the game, higher quality ranked matches will occur as everyone prepares for the toughest pitch.
There is no exact release date for when Ranked Matches will be available again. Riot Games, during an interview with Polygon, also revealed that they plan to rename the game's highest rank. Initially, it was called Valorant, which confused many players. The dev team is working on a new name and will announce it as Riot gets closer to releasing their final wave of Ranked Matches. Ranked players can also expect a new system to be released in the future, where they will receive more rewards for playing the game, aside from only having the risk of losing their rank if they play a game. match.
