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

Performance updates will be what are on the cards this time around, and Riot will look to make Valorant even smoother when 2.11 officially goes live. Moreover there will be a lot of bug fixes as well, to both Agents and to the maps.

Valorant fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major updates.
