Not only Valorant patch 6.05, but we also got info on the next Valorant PBE patches. It has been revealed that PBE invite frequency has changed. Instead of a singular invite wave going out to a small number of eligible players once every PBE patch, it will now be once every OTHER PBE patch.
This started with the 4.10 patch, and it is expected the next invite wave/chance to join Valo Patch 6.06 is on March 16.
However, it was additionally mentioned that this PBE schedule is subject to change depending on what type of patch is going out and it is not completely set in stone.
Obviously, these changes seem interesting, hence, those who are early waiting to see the Valorant agent abilities changes, bug fixes, and more should hop onto the game now.
Keep visiting for more details that will be coming soon.
