Valorant patch 2.11 official notes introduce improvements to frame rates as Replication returns

The latest Valorant patch will not be bringing Episode 3 Act 1 as many had hoped it would. Instead, version 2.11 will be looking to make some significant quality-of-life upgrades to the game’s engine.

Valorant patch 2.10 was skipped as there were updates in Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, and players had to wait almost a month for this patch to finally arrive.

The last patch before Episode 3 is a light one, but Patch 2.11 brings some welcome performance updates and bug fixes. Read them here: https://t.co/rESyOmvtju
