The making of Valorant sounds like one long technical nightmare, however, with Riot prioritizing polish and coding smarts in order to make a shooter that rewards pinpoint accuracy while remaining scalable across wide range of drastically different machines.

“We found we really needed 128 tick rate servers to hit our targets. We also want the vast majority of our players to be under 35 millisecond ping. That's kind of the optimal conditions.”

That said, making Valorant a highly scalable game was still a priority. Riot continues to make the game accessible to players using a wide variety of setups. Additionally, it doesn’t shy away from display solutions like Nvidia Reflex – which bypasses the render queue to enhance communication between your machine’s CPU and GPU.
“We support some pretty low-end machines,” Reid says, “and we want those machines to play great and be able to play the game competitively. I think Reflex supports GPUs all the way back to the 900 series, which came out in 2014. That hardware is broadly accessible and improves the experience for enough of our players that we think it's worthwhile to support. But we also want to make sure that we have the best possible experience on that high-end hardware.”

“If network conditions are truly degraded, if the game client and the game server can't communicate the information they need to in a timely manner, the player experience does degrade,” he says.

Riot yiri ka ọ nwere scalability nke Valorant, ogo njikọ yana nzaghachi n'ozuzu ya ruo na sayensị. Ma olee maka arụmọrụ?
“So pre-launch, we were really talking about three categories of problems,” Reid explains. “What are the targets we need to hit for our server performance? And that's the one delivering the 128 tick rate experience.
"Ụdị nke abụọ bụ ọnọdụ ọnọdụ GPU," ka ọ gara n'ihu. "Nke ahụ na-adị na ngwaike dị ala, dị ka CPU nke jikọtara eserese karịa GPU raara onwe ya nye.

Riot rarely cuts a feature outright over performance concerns. But those concerns do impact the development process. Valorant’s art style, for instance, was designed from scratch to look good across a wide range of hardware. “That's not the only consideration, obviously, but it does take some things off the table,” Reid says. “We're not going to be using real time ray tracing if we're running on a laptop from 2012.
"Ka anyị na-emepụta ihe ọhụrụ maka ndị egwuregwu ugbu a, anyị na-eme ule arụmọrụ siri ike," ọ gara n'ihu. "Ọ bụrụ na anyị gbakwunye ikike ọhụrụ nke na-eme ka egwuregwu ahụ rụọ ọrụ karịa, nke ahụ nwere ike imetụta arụmọrụ. Yabụ, anyị na-anwa idobe ikike ọhụrụ ka ọ dabere ma rụọ ọrụ nke ọma dịka enwere ike, anyị na-etinyekwa nnukwu mbọ injinịa n'ịkwalite arụmọrụ niile. ”

Leaning into the topic of performance, you may wonder if Valorant could one day grace a cloud gaming service such as Nvidia GeForce Now, allowing players to get around hardware limitations entirely. But Reid was quick to express that such an eventuality simply isn’t on the cards for the game at present.
“With a cloud gaming service specifically, the challenge would be the increased latency of going through a cloud game server, and then talking to that server,” he says. “I think it'd be pretty difficult to provide the type of responsiveness you need in a game like Valorant over a cloud gaming service. I don't want to say never; technology will continue to improve. But that's not something we're looking at right now.”
More promisingly, Reid confirmed that Valorant console ports on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are “something we’re definitely exploring”. However, he wasn’t able to give us any more info than that.
