Two weeks have passed since the last update and patch 8.09 is coming out for Valorant players. This might be a smaller update than the previous one since it's the first one of the season, but it does have some changes you might want to know.
We have gathered all the information about it now that the complete patch notes have been posted on the game's official website.
Release date
Patch 8.09 for Valorant is set to come out on Tuesday, May 14/Wednesday, May 15, depending on the region you're in.
A maintenance period will take place before its arrival to allow the developers to make the necessary preparations. North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers will go down on Tuesday at 6:00 am PT and come back up at around 10:00 am PT, barring any issues.
European players will have to wait a little bit longer as their servers will go down at 4:00 am BST on Wednesday, May 15, and should return at 8:00 am BST on that same day.
