The day one patch. It's now become part and parcel of a video game launch day – and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is no different, with the first update already rolling out to consoles worldwide.
Valorant patch notes – update 7.07 pulls controversial ranked changes
03.10.2023 - 13:55 / pcgamesn.com
It’s Valorant patch notes time yet again, but this week’s iteration is pretty surprising. Following feedback on the ranked restrictions introduced in the last update, Riot has chosen to walk the changes back given “how important it is to play with your friends.”
Just two weeks ago Riot released Valorant patch 7.06, an update which saw restrictions to the FPS game‘s high-level ranked queue. In an attempt to stomp out botting and boosting, Valorant‘s devs decided to limit who Ascendant-level players and above could party with.
If you were Platinum and above you’d be able to five stack with the game’s best squads, but this led to complaints from lower-level players who just want to play with their friends, and concerns that smurfing at low ELOs would worsen as a result.
In response, Riot has pulled the restrictions, but confirms that it “recognizes that boosting is a risk to competitive integrity and are working on an appropriate long term solution that doesn’t impact your ability to play with friends in a five stack.”
Below are the full patch notes for the 7.07 update, courtesy of Riot Games.
After listening to your feedback, we have decided to remove the recent rank restriction made to five stacks that was implemented in Patch 7.06. We know how important it is to play with your friends and your need for flexibility in order to do that.
Initially, the rank restriction was made to prevent people from illegitimately boosting to the highest ranks like Radiant. In the end, we realized that your ability to have flexibility with your five stack was more important than the very small number of people who abuse this exploit. However, we still recognize that boosting is a risk to competitive integrity and are working on an appropriate long term solution that doesn’t impact your ability to play with friends in a five stack.
General
In Patch 7.06, we fixed a bug that allowed the game to output surround sound when certain conditions were met, but the surround mix was untested and unsupported. Valorant currently only supports stereo and mono sound output.

With these changes to ranked, it’s worth checking out our list of the best Valorant crosshairs – after all, if you’re looking to ascend the Valorant ranks and reach Radiant, you’ll need to stay sharp.

Valorant patch notes – 7.08 update adds much-needed smoke changes
As an Astra player, I love watching my enemies tentatively step into my sparkling purple nebula, guns at the ready, terrified that one misstep will lead to them losing their heads. That sense of power is fun if you’re the smoker, but not so much if you’re on the receiving end of it. With the latest round of Valorant patch notes, though, tracking smokes and their respective timers just got a lot easier.
