North America, Europe, Oceania, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea are a few of the eligible regions that can start playing on June 2. The release will be staggered, meaning specific areas will open before others.

For VALORANT players, this means closed beta will be coming to an end on May 28. Riot Games will take the downtime to reset accounts, roll-out some final patches, and prepare for the worldwide release.
