The past few years have seen incredible growth for VALORANT, with regular updates and a thriving esports scene leading to a significant increase in the number of players. This has solidified its position as one of the most popular games worldwide. The frequent updates to the game are a key factor in the expansion of its player base. In addition, Riot Games operates a VALORANT Public Beta Environment (PBE) to test upcoming features before their global release, ensuring stability and functionality. If you are interested in participating in the beta, here is the VALORANT PBE Schedule for 2024.

What Is the VALORANT Public Beta Environment (PBE) Schedule for 2024?
The first PBE for VALORANT in 2024 took place on January 5th, primarily to test the new changes in the update for Episode 8 Act 1. This update also introduced the first new weapon, the Outlaw, to VALORANT.
Riot has announced that only North American players can participate in the 2024 PBE. Here is the scheduled upcoming PBE patches for 2024:
- Patch Update 8.02 – Fri, Jan 26, 2024
- Patch Update 8.03 – Fri, Feb 9, 2024
It’s important for VALORANT players to note that there is no PBE for patch 8.01. This schedule is not exhaustive, as Riot will announce additional upcoming PBEs at a later date.
It will be interesting to see the changes Riot implements in the upcoming patches, especially with the VALORANT Champions Tour Challengers starting in certain nations this month. It seems likely that patch 8.03 will be the last update before the four VALORANT Champions Tour Leagues kick off in February.
