The May 13th VALORANT PBE teased lag fixes and Omen model update, and tons of bug fixes coming in Patch 4.10.
Riot Games is known for pushing out constant updates to fix various bugs and balance issues for VALORANT. With the help of beta testers, Riot Games utilizes a Public Beta Environment to test and confer with actual players about the possible effect of any incoming update.
It seemed like it was just a week ago when they addressed a balance issue with one of Chamber’s abilities. And now, Riot Games is already cooking up another update that focuses on Quality of Life changes to improve VALORANT’s gaming experience.
While the VALORANT PBE can be seen as more of a testing ground for future patches, the previous PBE patch notes for Patch 4.09 was pretty close to the actual update. This leads us to believe that the incoming Patch 4.10 should be consistent with the recently concluded May 13 VALORANT PBE.

Updates Galore
Constant updates are always great for competitive gaming titles such as VALORANT. It shows just how dedicated the developers are in their quest to provide a balanced and competitive playing field for all gaming fans.
Patch 4.10 seems more of a Quality of Life update for VALORANT. However, important fixes for issues such as the Alt-tab latency bugs and the “destroyed” voice lines for some agents are still solid updates that will improve the game’s overall gameplay experience.
