New job listings suggest Valorant could be coming to consoles
Valorant has been a PC-exclusive multiplayer shooter since it first launched back in 2020. This isn’t unusual for developer Riot Games, who currently only has games on either PC or mobile platforms.
That said, it appears that this could all be set to change in the future, with Riot Games exploring the possibility of bringing Valorant to console players, too.
Now, rumours have been floating around regarding this ever since the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase back in June, when Riot Games announced that its games would all be available on Xbox Game Pass, with pre-unlocked Agent rosters for new players.

Does Amazon Have PS5 In Stock?

However, you can sign up for a PS5 invitation on several different PlayStation 5 SKUs listed below.

Best gifts for gamers 2022: Consoles, accessories, new releases, and more
Shopping for a gamer can be complicated. The good news: There’s so much to choose from. The bad news: There’s so much to choose from.
It’s even worse when you consider all the different kinds of gamers out there, from those who pledge allegiance to the PC crowd to Nintendo purists (and everyone in between). It isn’t easy finding just the right gift to add to their setup. But if you nail it, you won’t find anyone more grateful than a gamer.
When shopping for a gamer, first determine your desired price point. As far as budget-friendly options go, you can usually grab a few games for under $100 and call it a day. Accessories like controllers and charging docks are another great mid-range price option. The next step up will be things like gaming consoles or even a gaming laptop, which will run you at least a couple hundred dollars. If you’re looking to go all-out and treat the gamer in your life to a truly epic gift, a brand new PC rig and setup could clock in at a couple grand.
We’re here to help you get some ideas for the gamer in your life and narrow down your choices so you can find the perfect fit. We’ve found some of the best gifts, from the hottest games of the past few years to consoles, accessories, and more. Here are our picks.
Walmart Has PS5 Consoles Available
If you’re hoping to buy a PS5 or PS5 bundle, Walmart has them in stock right now. However, there’s a catch: currently the Black Friday PS5s are only be available to Walmart+ members. That’s not to say it’s the only way to get your hands on a shiny new PlayStation 5 ahead of the holiday season, but it’s the only way that’s been officially announced (so far).
How to Get a PS5 on Black Friday
The TL;DR is if you want the first crack at a PS5 from Walmart, better sign up for Walmart+.
Walmart will be offering the PlayStation 5 God of War: Ragnarök bundles on three separate days, as well as several other PS5 versions and bundles.
Walmart+ is $12.98 for a single month or $98 annually. There is a 30-day free trial, but sadly the free trial doesn’t entitle you to early access to Black Friday PS5 drops. You’re going to have to pay to get access.
If you’d rather not spend the money on a month of Walmart+ to get access to the PlayStation 5 consoles, you still have two more chances at Walmart, chances that DON’T require membership.
