VALORANT patch notes
The official notes say what was changed on purpose. We track what changed in the game's own files — which is not always the same list.
Where to read the official notes
Full patch notes are published on the official VALORANT site for every release, and those remain the authority on balance changes, bug fixes and agent tuning. We do not reproduce them — a copy of someone else's notes is worth nothing to you and nothing to us.
What we add
We snapshot the game's content files twice a day and diff them. That surfaces things the notes do not mention: cosmetics staged ahead of announcement, quiet changes to existing items, and content that appears and then disappears again.

Why the file diff is worth watching
Content reaches the public asset servers when it is staged for release, which is often days before the trailer. A bundle appearing in the files is therefore a reliable signal that it is coming — though not a release date, since content can sit there for weeks.
It also catches the quiet edits. When an existing skin's assets change without a mention in the notes, the diff sees it.
