Valorant Patch 5.05 Release Date: When is it?
Unfortunately, at the time of publication, there have yet to be any announcements or leaks in regards to just when Patch 5.05 will officially arrive in Valorant.
However, Riot Games did conduct a PBE test for Patch 5.05 over the weekend, which means that it should be arriving within a week or two.
Sadly, it appears Patch 5.05 won't be introducing anything too major once again, as the aforementioned PBE focused on "general Patch stability."
On Twitter, however, @valorantleaksEN did post that the Patch 5.05 PBE did add the rumored Avoid List icons to the game files.
