This helps devs know what to improve based on the feedback by players who can access it before the content makes its way to public servers.
Either way, here's hoping the VALORANT public test servers will make the pro scene a little less glitchy.Before a new update is implemented in video games, some developers first test it out on their game’s public beta environment or PBE. The latest move comes after Riot recently announced new Agents like Skye and maps like Icebox will be held back from the competitive circuit for a few weeks before they're also sent out into the wild.
Adding public test servers will allow thousands to road-test a patch before the larger playerbase gets to sink its teeth into it. So far, any testing has been done internally or by a small external group of influences. Players have been asking for a PBE since VALORANT's launch because it is arguably the best way to test a patch before throwing it to the masses. This will also help us to gather more information so we can capture performance changes and expose bugs early that players might run into". "We hope to expand on what we have learned and provide an early access experience that does not drastically differ from the live version of Valorant, but still allows for a glimpse into what we are working on. Hardin concluded, "For those that are familiar with the League of Legends PBE, this will serve a similar purpose. Obvious comparisons have been pulled between VALORANT and LoL's test servers. Public test servers are also a great way to test nerfs and buffs in a similar way, taking feedback on board, and then tweaking again before putting them fully live in-game. The big draw here is testing out new Agents and their abilities without screwing up the entirety of the VALORANT meta. Specific features/queues will be advertised or limited, and patches will be targeted for a certain length of time in advance of going live". Expanding on what you can expect, the post explained, "Specific features/queues will be advertised or limited, and patches will be targeted for a certain length of time in advance of going live".Ĭorrie Hardin, Senior Release Manager on VALORANT, added, "We will be creating a selectively updated pre-release environment, or PBE, sometime in the first half of 2021. The tenth chapter of the "Ask VALORANT" series addressed issues across the board and confirmed the game would be getting a LoL-inspired Public Beta Environment (PBE) in 2021.
