The limited beta test will kick off on June 14 and will be available for players in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan, with possibly expanding to remaining countries shorty after that.
You can sign-up for it on the official Valorant Beta website; however, successful registration doesn't guarantee the participation.
“When exploring whether to bring VALORANT to additional platforms, we knew we had to be able to offer the same uncompromising, competitive experience that we’ve provided to PC players for years: a precise, team-based, tactical shooter,” said Arnar Gylfason, Production Director of VALORANT at Riot Games. “We were adamant that VALORANT’s core, competitive gameplay must feel natural on a controller; and - if we couldn’t deliver on that gameplay promise - we had to be prepared to walk away from it. We hope we nailed it, but ultimately, our players will have the final say.”
Unfortunately, Valorant Console will not feature cross-play; however, you will be able to connect your PC account to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to share your inventory and progression. Apart from this, all new content and updates will release simultaneously on all platforms.
