So, when exactly is the new episode? We've got a countdown for you, so you know when it begins.
Countdown to the release of VALORANT Episode 9 Act 3
VALORANT Episode 9 Act 2 ends on October 23 at 6 a.m. PT. The Battle Pass concludes, the Act's Premier schedule ends, and we're off to a new adventure. So, you can expect VALORANT Episode 9 Act 3 to start up almost immediately after Act 2 ends.
Here's the countdown we promised:
VALORANT Episode 9 Act 3
You'll get the patch the day prior, on Tuesday, October 22. Just remember the rule change for content releases that arrived with Patch 9.0 back in June.
New in-game content comes the day after the patch, which is when the new Act releases. When it comes to store updates, that happens typically a day after that even, refreshing the shop items on Thursdays.
