Valorant players will soon receive the first update since the release of Season 2025 Act 3, patch 10.09. Even though the patch notes are not available, there are a few expectations we can make about the new version.
While we wait for the update to drop, here is everything we know about it, along with our respective predictions.
Release date
Patch 10.09 for Valorant is scheduled to come out on Tuesday, May 13th or Wednesday, May 14th, depending on the region you play on.
The update rollout should begin on Tuesday at around 6:00 AM PT for North American, LATAM, and Brazil servers. On the other hand, European players must have to wait until Wednesday at 4:00 AM BST.
What can we expect from this version?
Patch 10.09 patch notes will be posted on Valorant's official website once the version starts rolling out. However, we can make a few assumptions based on previous releases.
For starters, the developers already confirmed that this patch will bring changes to Tejo. Here is the complete list of changes so you can have an idea:
- Ult points increased from 8 to 9.
- Stealth Drone cost increased from 300 to 400 credits.
- Special Delivery cost reduced from 300 to 200 credits.
- Guided Salvo
- Now only 1 rocket per charge, 2 charges available.
- 1st rocket is free, 2nd will cost 150 credits.
- Map range reduced from 55m to 45m.
- Removed rocket recharge on cooldown.
For those visual learners, you can have a look at the changes in the following video posted by the game's official account on X:
Map changes are also possible, although very unlikely, since this is the first patch of the current act. Quality-of-life adjustments and UI improvements are other things we could see in this update.
One thing that is always present in these updates is bug fixes, meaning we could see some of the most recent errors get addressed by the upcoming version.
Once the complete patch notes are available, we will update this article to add all the new information so you can read about it.
