Valorant Scheduled Maintenance: When Can We Expect It?
By Andrew Lin
Valorant Scheduled Maintenance happened recently on April 15. The first patch fixed some bugs that allowed some Agents to access areas they shouldn't be able to, and a bug with Cypher's Spycam that let him get kills through it. When could we expect the next patch?
Valorant Scheduled Maintenance: When Can We Expect It?
As Valorant beta keys are highly coveted and distributed almost randomly, it would be annoying to get access and be unable to play due to scheduled maintenance. Luckily, the last maintenance happened early in the morning when players would most likely not be active.
For NA servers, we'll be going forward with this patch tomorrow (April 15). At 4:30am PT, queues will 'freeze,' then go offline at 6am PT. Expect them to be back up at 8am PT.

Valorant has only had maintenance performed once so far, so the schedule to when it will occur next is up in the air at this point. Maintenance will primarily be to fix bugs and glitches that have unintended gameplay consequences rather than emergency balance fixes. The game is still in beta, so Riot should be taking a more frequent approach to maintenance.
Raze is expected to receive a slight tweak next update, as the audio cues for her grenades are not as robust as it needs to be. When the update will occur is unknown at this point.
