VALORANT, <\/em>being the hyper-competitive FPS that it is, seems to fit right at home on PC. That doesn’t mean the game won’t ever come to console\u2014and Riot said as much to Tim.<\/p>
“Our focus right now is on PC,” VALORANT<\/em> lead designer Trevor Romleski said. “We’re open to exploring new opportunities for other platforms, but for the time being what our current focus is is on the PC platform.”<\/p>
Riot has a number of projects in the works, including single-player games and a fighting game, along with League of Legends <\/em>and Teamfight Tactics<\/em>. The developer has a long history with PC gaming, so this should come as no surprise.<\/p>
It looks like it’ll be a while before VALORANT<\/em> comes to consoles, so PC players will enjoy an exclusive for the time being. But that doesn’t mean it will never come to consoles, so gamers everywhere should hold out hope.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
