As expected, patch 9.09 for Valorant has started to come out across the different regions. Since the rollout is on, Riot has posted the full patch notes on the game's official website.

This is the first update after the launch of Episode 9 Act 3 and a small one too, which is to be expected after the significant changes brought by version 9.08.

Release date

Patch 9.09 for Valorant is set to be released on Tuesday, November 5th/Wednesday, November 6th, depending on the region you play on.

The update rollout should start at around 6:00 am PT for North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European users will have to wait until Wednesday at 4:00 am BST.
