Patch 13.06 is next on the calendar for Valorant players, and surprisingly, this is poised to be one of the biggest updates in months. The patch will not only bring expected changes, but it will also introduce many new things as if it were the update that kicks off a new Act or Season.
While we wait for the patch notes detailing all the changes that come with this version, here is a summary of what we know to get you up to speed.
When Does Valorant Patch 13.06 Come Out?
Patch 13.06 of Valorant is scheduled to come out on Tuesday, September 15, or Wednesday, September 16, depending on your region.
The patch will roll out on Tuesday at 6:00 AM PT for North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European players will have to wait a bit longer as the update's rollout starts around Wednesday at 4:00 AM BST.
What Can We Expect From the Patch Notes?
The patch notes aren't available at the time of writing, since they will be published once the update starts rolling out across the different regions. However, we have a few predictions for which game aspects will be addressed.
For starters, the addition of a brand-new weapon, The Warden, will certainly open the way for some weapon adjustments to make sure the new rifle fits naturally and doesn't overlap with the two other major rifle options, the Vandal and the Phantom.
We also expect hero changes, especially since Riot will soon start to get ready for the arrival of a brand-new agent, as a new character will debut in the game after the Valorant Champions 2026 finals.
Among the confirmed quality-of-life changes, the home screen will get a refresh and sport an "improved look and feel," and the Practice Range will now be available while queueing for a game.
Once this patch goes live, the console version will also launch in Australia and New Zealand, arriving a little over two years after the console version launched in other regions.
We will update this article to add the complete patch notes when they're available, so you can find all the details in one place.
