Some Fans Are Not Excited by This News

Some fans are not very happy with this announcement.

The announcement of the free-to-play title coming to the console did not elicit a positive response. Some users on X/Twitter were saying that this kind of launch didn’t make sense because no one would play this game on those platforms.

Other users said that if the studio used cross-play, the auto-aim complaints would make the developers’ lives miserable, especially because of the toxic community that this game has.

if valorant has crossplay the amount of salt because of controllers having auto aim is going to be legendary— BONKERS (@misterbonkers_) June 7, 2024

Some fans have even said that the gameplay shown at the event was not the actual console gameplay and Riot Games lied. They added that the controller aim is different that what was shown.

Bruh the Valorant devs tried to say that gameplay was all console footage using a controller. Why lie like this? It was obviously scripted as shit controller aim does not look like that lmao— Tony Soprano (@Burgercade) June 8, 2024

Valorant is one of the most popular shooter titles out there and has a massive community. The developers trying to get a whole player base is not wrong but fans are not impressed as console players might have the edge with auto-aim.

The cross-play is another big thing being discussed but it hasn’t been announced by the developer yet. More details about the game are expected to be shared in the coming days.
