A major update for VALORANT is just around the corner with Patch 11.08, which promises to introduce groundbreaking changes for agents, significant map revisions, improvements to weapon mechanics, and more. If you haven’t already saved the date, we’ve compiled all the essential details regarding the release schedule for VALORANT Patch 11.08.
Release Schedule for VALORANT Patch 11.08
VALORANT Patch 11.08 is set to launch on October 15 (CT), coinciding with the conclusion of the current Act Five and following Riot’s server maintenance. This update will signal the commencement of Act Six, the concluding competitive phase for Season V25.
Be aware that some players may receive a prompt to download the patch a day earlier, depending on their location. Previous updates have shown that players were often nudged to start downloading new content a few hours before the scheduled server maintenance, and Patch 11.08 seems likely to adhere to this trend. Ultimately, all updates from 11.08 will take effect once Act Six is officially launched on October 15.
Server maintenance times may vary across different regions. Below is a general timeline for the start of Act Six and the launch of Patch 11.08:
- North America, LATAM, Brazil: October 15 between 8 AM and 12 PM CT
- Korea, Asia-Pacific: October 16 between 6 AM and 8 AM KST
- EMEA: October 16 between 2 AM and 5 AM UTC
If the timing seems complex, consider using the auto-update function in the Riot Client application. This feature will automatically download Patch 11.08 in the background whenever it becomes available for your device.
