Valorant Patch 4.05 Delayed: Full Patch Notes Detailed

The latest Valorant update, Patch 4.05, has been delayed, but fans can still check out the full notes ahead of its release.

Riot Games put out a tweet earlier today announcing that the upcoming Patch 4.05 has been delayed. The tweet read, "Heads up! We're eager to get Patch 4.05 to you but we ran into some late issues, so expect some delays to your usual release."

At the time of writing, there's no word on when the patch will be fully rolled out. Fans will have to sit tight a little bit longer before the updates and fixes head their way. In the meantime, we've detailed the full list of updates heading to Valorant in this upcoming patch.
