The subject of Nvidia graphics and Intel processors is for reference, the AMD equivalents to these ranges will be what you have to look for to enjoy the same or better gaming experience.
Goodbye to the beta, hello to reality
With the end of Valorant’s closed beta comes the reality hit , from now on not only a few will be able to play the Riot Games title but it will be available to anyone interested in it. In addition, removing the experience when playing, knowledge of the maps and their peculiarities, etc., all players start with the same options.
In other words, all the progress made during the trial period is removed and all that remains are some rewards such as the two titles, the player cards and the weapon charm. Details that do not give the beta player an advantage over the newcomer.
Also, to facilitate the adoption of new players, these will not cross with experienced players the first games. Or, at least, they won’t do it very regularly. For the rest, along with all this also comes Reyna, a new agent who joins the previous ones making a total of 11 who, by the way, will also enjoy a new map called Ascent so there will be four in total.
That said, if you wanted to play Valorant and still could not get access to the beta you will no longer have to worry. Officially, version 1.0 of Valorant is available for everyone and all you have to do is find the hole to start playing.
