Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 began on June 27, 2023. The new phase in Riot's character-based tactical shooter introduced the new Agent, Deadlock. Her presence, however, did not shake up the game's meta, as her pick rates across ranks were abysmally low. This meant that it was yet another ranked season dominated by staple Agents like Jett, Reyna, Killjoy, Sage, Omen, and the like.
Now that two months have passed, it is time for a new Act and a soft rank reset. Players can only grind to get a better rank in Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 for a couple more days, based on where you play the game from. This guide will tell you when the current rank season will end in each major region of the world.
