Valorant 10.06 Update Buffs KAY/O While Nerfing Yoru & Vyse

A new Valorant update is just around the corner, and it’s all set to bring with it some major changes to the game’s Agents.

The patch notes for the Valorant 10.06 update have already been revealed by Riot Games, and there are a lot of new changes for players to take a look at. These changes include notable buffs to KAY/O, while Yoru and Vyse will see some minor nerfs.

Alongside Agent changes, the Valorant 10.06 patch will also fix several bugs and give your PC a performance boost on Sunset.

Without further ado, let’s check out everything new that the new Valorant update has introduced to the competitive shooter.

Valorant 10.06 Patch Notes Revealed

Valorant 10.06 Update

Below, we have listed the detailed patch notes for the Valorant 10.06 update, as officially confirmed by the devs:

ALL PLATFORMS

AGENT UPDATES

  • KAY/O
    • While we love that KAY/O has an engaging path to mastery, we consistently see that there is a large gap between his skill ceiling and skill floor and that gap hasn’t really improved over time. We see from both player feedback and internal statistics that his flash is the most difficult flash to coordinate with on the roster.
    • We think we can make KAY/O’s overhand flash more flexible for mid-range scenarios to better match our other flashes.
      • These sets of changes should continue to preserve his high skill ceiling on those perfectly tossed pop flashes you have been practicing.
    • We’re also reducing his resurrection duration on his ultimate to reinforce the potential for teamplay to pick up an ally KAY/O.
    • FLASH/DRIVE
      • Upon bouncing, flashes will now start a 0.8 second windup and then pop.
        • This windup has unique audio and visuals when triggered.
        • The bounce windup will not be triggered if it is already less than 0.8 seconds from popping, so it won’t increase the total max time from throw to pop.
      • Underhand maximum flash duration 1.25s >>> 1.5s
      • Increase VO callout range of KAY/O’s “flashing” voice line 20m >>> 50m
      • Unequip time 0.85s >>> 0.6s
      • A minimap indicator has been added to the flash for teammates only.
    • NULL/cmd
      • Ally resurrection time 3s >>> 1.5s
  • Yoru
    • Fakeout is providing a bit too much return on investment at the 100 credit cost.
    • Fakeout
      • Cost increase 100 >>> 200 credits
  • Vyse
    • While we’re happy that Vyse has found a place in the ecosystem since the buffs in patch 9.11, we’ve found the durations on her abilities to be excessive in a world where her Razorvines are more threatening. We’re shortening the durations on her Razorvines and Shear so that Vyse will have to more actively capitalize rather than just relying on the baseline value of their stall.
    • Razorvine Duration: 
      • 10s >>> 7s 
    • Shear: 
      • Triggered Wall Duration: 8s >>> 6s

PLAYER BEHAVIOR UPDATES

  • Improved feedback notifications so you will now more reliably see messages when a cheating report leads to a ban.

PERFORMANCE UPDATES

  • Improved CPU performance of Sunset by reducing the number of map specific objects that tick each frame.

BUG FIXES

  • Agents
    • Vyse
      • Arc Rose
        • Fixed a bug where Vyse’s Arc Rose idle animation stopped looping when she crouched.
        • Fixed a bug where destroying the Arc Rose while Vyse was recalling it did not respect the 40 second “destroyed” cooldown.
    • Raze
      • Blast Pack
        • Fixed an issue where Blast Pack could knock back Skye’s Trailblazer and Tejo’s Stealth Drone through walls.
    • Clove
      • Meddle
        • Updated tooltips to reflect our patch 10.04 changes.
    • Deadlock
      • Annihilation
        • Fixed an issue where hit-confirm sounds on Deadlock’s cocoon target were abnormally loud.
    • Breach
      • Aftershock
        • Fixed an issue where Breach would go into an incorrect idle animation pose in third-person after Aftershock was fired.
    • Sova
      • Owl Drone
        • Fixed an issue where Sova would go into an incorrect idle animation pose in third person after exiting Owl Drone.
    • KAY/O
      • Fixed a rare issue where KAY/O could appear standing up when downed during Null/CMD.
      • Fixed an issue where KAY/O’s Zero Point dagger trajectory could behave unexpectedly with packet loss.
    • Gekko
      • Fixed an issue where the “Spike Down” VO would not play when Wingman was destroyed while carrying the Spike.
    • Iso
      • Fixed an issue where swapping to Iso with Double Tap active could result in the wrong UI bar displaying for spectators or observers.
    • Tejo
      • Stealth Drone
        • Fixed a bug where Stealth Drone was not unstealthing upon jumping up prior to its scan.

PC ONLY

BUG FIXES

  • Premier
    • Fixed an issue where a player’s status in the Premier Hub roster list would sometimes overlap with the alert icon in certain queues.
    • Fixed an issue where the playoff bracket would not update dynamically during the second game of a best of three matchup.

Valorant 10.06 Release Date

The Valorant 10.06 update is scheduled to hit the live servers on April 1, 2025. Due to this being a minor update, there will be no major downtimes for the game servers.

Raksha Khadse Talks About Inclusion of Esports in 2036 Olympics

At the Esports Conclave 2025, held on 1st April and hosted by the Physical Education Foundation of India (PEFI), Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Smt. Raksha Khadse, voiced her support for India potentially hosting the 2036 Olympics with a strong push for esports to be a major part of it.

India Eyes Esports Spotlight at 2036 Olympics During Esports Conclave 2025

The Esports Conclave 2025, organized by the Physical Education Foundation of India (PEFI), served as a pivotal platform for government officials, policymakers, industry experts, and esports professionals to chart the future of competitive gaming in India. The event focused on driving investments, shaping regulatory frameworks, and fostering global collaboration in the esports ecosystem.

During her keynote address, Smt. Raksha Khadse stated, “India should host the Olympics in 2036. And if everything goes well, and progress continues positively, we can definitely expect esports to have a significant place in the 2036 Olympics.” Her statement reflects growing governmental interest in integrating esports into mainstream sports frameworks and India’s ambitions to be a global hub for competitive gaming.

Esports in Olympics

Esports has already made significant strides on the Olympic stage. Following its debut at the inaugural Olympic Esports Week, the competitive gaming format is set to feature its second full-scale iteration during the 2027 Olympics. The momentum continues to grow, reinforcing its legitimacy and mass appeal across the globe.

While the host nation for the 2036 Olympics has not been officially announced, India has expressed interest in the bid, and with government figures like Smt. Khadse backing both the hosting and the inclusion of esports, the future looks promising for the Indian esports industry.

Smt. Raksha Khadse’s vision at Esports Conclave 2025 is a strong signal of India’s growing aspirations on the global esports and Olympic stage. With increasing recognition, supportive policies, and industry collaboration, India could not only be the host of the 2036 Olympics but also a torchbearer for esports in the Olympic movement.

Can You Play Marvel Rivals on PS4?

Can You Play Marvel Rivals on PS4?

The 6v6 hero shooter Marvel Rivals has been very popular among players with its fast-paced gameplay. Yet, PlayStation 4 (PS4) owners might be thinking about whether they can get in on the fun. The game has been made available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 (PS5), and Xbox Series X/S.

However, if you are a PS4 user and wondering if you can play Marvel Rivals on your device, read this article till the end to find out the answer.

Is It Possible to Play Marvel Rivals on PS4?

Marvel Rivals PS4 release

The answer is NO, you can’t play Marvel Rivals on PS4. Marvel Rivals uses Unreal Engine 5, which is a powerful game engine that supports advanced graphics and complex gameplay mechanics. This engine requires much processing power, which the older hardware of the PS4 may not be able to supply. That’s the reason why PS4 can’t run the game.

Even on next-generation consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, there are reports of performance issues such as stuttering and crashing during stressful situations. These issues indicate that porting the game to the PS4 would involve heavy optimization, and the game’s graphical quality and overall performance would have to suffer as a result.

To date, NetEase has not made any official announcements regarding releasing Marvel Rivals on the PS4. The priority is on optimizing the game for next-generation platforms to deliver a quality gaming experience. Although some Unreal Engine 5 titles have been ported to the PS4, such ports typically require drastic sacrifices in terms of graphics and performance. With the technical requirements of Marvel Rivals, a PS4 version does not seem probable at this juncture.

Are you a PS4 player who wants to play Marvel Rivals, or have you already upgraded to PS5? Let us know in the comments section below.

One Piece Chapter 1145 Break Confirmed – Release Schedule & What to Expect

One Piece Chapter 1145 Break Confirmed – Release Schedule & What to Expect

Fans of One Piece will have to wait an extra week for new content, as Chapter 1145 will be followed by the manga’s first break in April 2025. According to reputable leaker @pewpiece on X (formerly Twitter), the series will go on hiatus after the chapter’s official release on Monday, April 7, 2025 .

This break aligns with Eiichiro Oda’s long-standing three-chapters-one-break schedule, where he typically takes a week off after every three consecutive chapters. The last pause occurred between Chapter 1142 (March 10) and Chapter 1143 (March 24), meaning this upcoming break follows the expected pattern .

When Will One Piece Return After the Break?

Following the April 7 release of Chapter 1145, the manga will resume with:

  • Chapter 1146: April 21, 2025
  • Chapter 1147: April 28, 2025

However, the schedule may face further disruptions due to Japan’s Golden Week holidays, beginning April 29. Historically, Weekly Shonen Jump takes a publisher-wide break during this period, potentially delaying Chapter 1148 until mid-May .

Why Does Oda Take Frequent Breaks?

Oda’s break pattern is designed to maintain his health and creative stamina while delivering high-quality storytelling. The One Piece manga has been serialized weekly since 1997, making these scheduled pauses essential for sustainability .

Fans have grown accustomed to this rhythm, though unexpected breaks (such as health-related or publisher-mandated pauses) can still occur.

What to Expect in Chapter 1145

While full spoilers are not yet available, Chapter 1145 is expected to advance the Elbaf Arc’s major battles, including:

  • The Straw Hats and Scopper Gaban’s fight against the Holy Knights .
  • Potential revelations about King Harald’s death and Loki’s role .
  • Further exploration of the 3,000-year-old ancient giant robot discovered by Franky .

Where to Read One Piece Legally

Fans can access the latest chapters through:

  • MANGA Plus (free with limited chapters)
  • Viz Media (subscription required for full access)
  • Shonen Jump+ (paid service)

While breaks can be frustrating, they ensure One Piece remains a consistently engaging series. Stay tuned for official updates on Chapter 1145 and future release dates.

My Happy Marriage S2E12 Recap: Naoshi’s Defeat & Miyo’s Awakening

My Happy Marriage season 2 episode 12, titled Feelings Beyond Dreams, aired on March 31, 2025, bringing viewers to the climax of Miyo and Kiyoka’s harrowing confrontation with Naoshi Usui. As the penultimate episode, it featured an intense psychological and emotional battle, ultimately resolving the central conflict that has built throughout the season.

Naoshi Usui’s Illusions Test Kiyoka’s Willpower

The episode begins with Naoshi confronting Miyo in his castle, praising her Dream-Sight awakening. Miyo declares she’s there not to assist in creating his “Ideal World,” but to stop him. As tensions rise, Naoshi attempts to punish Miyo, but Kiyoka steps in to protect her.

A fierce battle ensues. Naoshi’s mastery of illusions forces Kiyoka into a nightmarish loop, psychologically tormenting him. Kiyoka is led to believe Miyo is being repeatedly killed, helpless to intervene. Despite bleeding and overwhelmed, he remains determined to protect her.

Miyo Awakens Her Full Power as the Dream-Sight Maiden

While Kiyoka suffers, Miyo seeks to intervene but is initially stopped by Arata Usuba. Eventually, Miyo enters the dreamscape to confront Naoshi directly. Her presence changes the setting from a hellish illusion to a place of peace. There, she appeals to Naoshi’s past, especially his connection to her mother, Sumi.

The emotional climax comes when Sumi’s visage appears. Her silent disappointment breaks through Naoshi’s delusion, prompting him to take his own life in a moment of clarity, seeking release and reunion with Sumi in the afterlife.

Aftermath and Emotional Closure

In the final scenes, Miyo and Kiyoka regroup with allies after the battle. Though Arata is critically wounded, he survives, while Naoshi’s death marks the end of the threat. Miyo reflects on the pain and destruction caused by supernatural powers, questioning their worth despite her ability to change the future. Kiyoka comforts her, reaffirming her courage and compassion.

What’s Next in the Season Finale?

With the main antagonist defeated, fans now look to the final episode of My Happy Marriage season 2 for emotional closure and the resolution of lingering plot threads. Episode 13 is expected to air next week.
