Valorant’s7.0Patchdropped back on June 27, seeing the commencement of Episode 7. Among the swathes of changes were a new Agent, Deadlock, a new Team Deathmatch mode and major updates to the shooter’s progression system. 7.01 is smaller, building on the new Episode as we’ve come to expect.
Among the most notable changes, the Premier Ignition Stage is open, letting you and your squadmates drop into some competitive Valorant action. Every player will be “starting from scratch” in the new Stage, so players need to make a new team or rejoin an old one. Enrollment for the tournament closes on 06 June 2025, so ensure you and your squad have signed up by then. Matches start on that date and run through August 12, with Playoffs beginning a day later.
There’s new Player Behavior updates as well, with Riot Games doubling down on their commitment to fun and fair play for all Valorant fans. In-game bans for being AFK, killing teammates and dodging queues have been added. The full notes are listed below, courtesy of Riot themselves.
