Valorant has officially confirmed a partnership with Discord for its upcoming 12.07 patch, and it’s set to bring a series of exciting features that Discord users will be able to enjoy once the update goes live.
Alongside the Discord integration, the Valorant 12.07 update will greet players with a revamped settings page aimed at improving functionality and overall visual clarity. Riot is also rolling out a variety of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to enhance the overall player experience.
Unfortunately, the Valorant 12.07 update doesn’t introduce any changes to the actual gameplay, which means the current meta remains untouched and at least two more weeks of Neon pickers wreaking havoc in your lobbies until Patch 12.08 arrives on April 29.
Without further ado, let’s check out all the changes that the Valorant 12.07 patch will bring with it to the competitive shooter.
Valorant 12.07 Patch Notes Revealed
The partnership with Discord is easily the biggest highlight of the Valorant 12.07 update. Discord users will now be able to link their IDs with their Valorant accounts to unlock new social features.
