Overview
- Patch 12.07 arrived Tuesday with an official Discord tie-in that lets players link accounts and invite friends to parties from inside Valorant.
- The social features roll out in stages, starting in Brazil now, reaching the US and Canada on April 21, and going worldwide with patch 12.08 on April 29.
- Riot corrected an aiming inconsistency by updating scope reticles so the center of view lines up more reliably on affected skins like Kuronami Marshal and Araxys Operator.
- PC players get a revamped Settings menu with clearer layout and tooltips, plus fixes for menu lag tied to large friends lists and a batch of Store and cosmetic UI bugs.
- Coverage notes a convenience boost for most players, while some express concern about Discord’s recent policy direction and have tried self-hosted chat options.
