Beginning with VALORANT Patch 9.00, which should line up with the release of Episode Nine, Act One in the final week of June, all new content will become available on the Wednesday after the patch day instead of on Tuesday. This includes new agents, maps, the start of acts, rank refreshes, and the act's battle pass. New skins will be delayed an additional day and will be available to purchase starting the Thursday after patch days. Balance changes to new agents, though, such as the sweeping changes to duelists in the recent Patch 8.11, will still be applied on Tuesday patch days. So if any changes to agents are planned for Patch 9.00, such as the nerf to Iso that many members of the community have been calling for, they'll be made and applied on the day of the patch. While Riot has not given a reason for the new content delivery schedule, it could be an attempt to reduce server overload as players try to rejoin following downtime. Visual changes such as the main menu and login artwork will still be applied the day of the patch, and bug fixes likely will as well. VALORANT Patch 9.00 is expected to go live on Tuesday, June 25, meaning the new episode and act will officially go live the day after.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/VALORANT-Clove.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1266027"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1266123,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027\/revisions\/1266123"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1266086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1266027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1266027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

This includes new agents, maps, the start of acts, rank refreshes, and the act's battle pass. New skins will be delayed an additional day and will be available to purchase starting the Thursday after patch days. Balance changes to new agents, though, such as the sweeping changes to duelists in the recent Patch 8.11, will still be applied on Tuesday patch days. So if any changes to agents are planned for Patch 9.00, such as the nerf to Iso that many members of the community have been calling for, they'll be made and applied on the day of the patch. While Riot has not given a reason for the new content delivery schedule, it could be an attempt to reduce server overload as players try to rejoin following downtime. Visual changes such as the main menu and login artwork will still be applied the day of the patch, and bug fixes likely will as well. VALORANT Patch 9.00 is expected to go live on Tuesday, June 25, meaning the new episode and act will officially go live the day after.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/VALORANT-Clove.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1266027"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1266123,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1266027\/revisions\/1266123"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1266086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1266027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1266027"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1266027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
