Is Valorant Ranked Mode Coming Today? Hold My Calls

People, including me, have been chomping at the bit waiting for Rated mode to come out in Valorant – also known as Ranked. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I got access to the game a few weeks ago. The game is fun as shit, don’t get me wrong. But I love the idea of playing super competitive and trying to climb the ranks. It’s where I really find games getting me addicted.

Well, news has been popping up the last week regarding the timeline of it.

Some clarity: there is no patch 0.48, the next patch will be 0.49. Rated mode will go live as soon as we're confident in the stability of that that patch on live. Current ETA for 0.49 is sometime next week. Will let you know more specifics as we get closer.

So if 0.49 comes out and it’s smooth, we can expect ranked. And we can get it as early as this week.. Well it could be even earlier. I’m talking like, today early according to Nick Wu himself.

I’m happier than a pig in shit. And even if it isn’t necessarily here TODAY, I’m still ecstatic that it will be here very soon. Time to cancel all my plans that I don’t have, and play Valorant until my eyes bleed.
