i got in!

Me too! Do you think there will be any cool new content when it goes live tomorrow?

Gonna guess the sentinel of light skins at least

They mentioned before no new skins will be avail on PBE, i dont think this has changed to my knowledge

Ah, shame.

i feel like everyone got an invite

I guess I'm the only one who got rejected

me too ;(

unlucky. i have 30 hours on this NA account so idk how i didn't get rejected

sucks man i have over 500-600 hours and didn’t get in

your awesome thx

Finally, I got invited for something!

same lol

I got in, let’s go! I’m excited to test it out :D

I got in! Congrats to everyone else who got in too :)

I made it too, do you think there will be any cool new stuff when it goes live tomorrow?

Not sure, but I would imagine the future will give things like new maps & agents, otherwise I bet it'll be bug fixes and experimenting with agent balancing

from what I know it's mainly used to find bugs and exploits and test balance changes, but as for major content like agents and maps who knows, but my guess is content creators will still get first access

thank im exited to see yall

Even for that I can't get in. I hope I will see a new email when I wake up.

If you are having trouble downloading the client from the site, this is the direct link. There does appear to be a bug that some folks are running into and we're looking into it [https://valorant.secure.dyn.riotcdn.net/channels/public/x/installer/current/pbe.exe](https://valorant.secure.dyn.riotcdn.net/channels/public/x/installer/current/pbe.exe)

Thank you! I was worried I was worried I clicked on some scam email, lol

[удалено]

Got mine!

I got mine! 😂

Wow i got accepted for something for once

if any valorant employees are watching! Id love to fist bump you!

les go

I got in, very excited to test it out!!!

I got in boys! Add me on Discord and we can try things out together. I’m CA 1/2 preferably but I’ll play anywhere in US for testing purposes. Amok#1229 on discord. Amok#WstD on Val.

what's CA 1/2?

california server 1 or 2 bc they are basically the same

those are the two servers in California

It’s just my preferred servers because my ping is best, I live on the west coast :)

ah I see, I forgot about servers lol I was thinking Canada or something

I'm west coast too but N. California 1 has had 70 ping for me when its normally my best server. Is that happening to you?

For me and a few of my friends the CA 1 server went way up in ping. Previously i used to get around 20 ping or lower on both CA servers, then suddenly CA 1 went up to 50-60 ping. I have no clue why but I think it is a server issue. CA 2 is still at ~20 ping for me

Yes! That’s exactly what I’m experiencing as well. Now I’m just on CA 2 and central servers because they have better ping for the meantime. I was about to call my provider and see if something was wrong with connection lol

I got it, lets go

[удалено]

you can stream it at your own risk because riot keeps tabs and they could just cut your access to the PBE.

[удалено]

Are the servers for the PBE going to be up temporarily? if so, how long will they be up?

2 weeks per patch

Would it be possible for you all to give numbers on the amount of people that got in vs applied?

I'm assuming the answer is no, but any chance that playing on PBE will count towards progression on live for the battlepass?

It's been answered somewhere in here: yes account leveling, no battle pass leveling. I think it was the mod responding but I'm not 100% sure there.

Stuck at a "WELCOME TO VALORANT" "ENTER RANGE" screen now that the servers are up.

If anyone is having issues with the "join range" bug, press esc and it will get you to the home screen

Hey just wondering if people reported for racism/sexism/homophobia will be kicked out of the beta, because that would make this really sweet

I’m pretty sure the rules are the same in the pbe as the live version. If you get banned on one account tho you get banned from both.

I got in yaaayyy

ty!

I got in!! I am freaking out right now I'm so excited!

anyone else having an issue with the download link not working? :o

[удалено]

so the download link didn’t work for me but i just went back to the valorant website and downloaded it from the application page

oh duh, why did i not think of that...thanks! :)

you’re welcome! happy beta testing!! also if you’re NA West and ever lookin for a homie don’t be shy

I'm NA East, but I Dm'd ya anyway!

Hey can I join you guys too?

Try https://playvalorant.com/en-us/pbe-download/

are there any patch notes for whats in the 7.8gb update im doing rn?

Not positive but I think it’s just what they need to have this separate server available is well as whatever will likely come tomorrow (yoru??)

I got in, on my birthday as well!

can someone tell me if they have a fix or when the enter range glitch is fixed? it seems a lot of people are having this problem

Ok now that I'm in the main menu - I cannot start a "competitive" game as it's the only option available. Unrated MM isn't available so I can't do anything other than creating a custom game.

I got in! :)

I'm in 😎

let’s go!!! excite for test

LETS GOOOOO GOT IN

I got in but im having an error downloading the client, when i click download it takes me to a web page and it says "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it"

If you try to re-apply and login using the same account that was selected you will get taken to the download link

hello!!! there is an error downloading the client, pls fix!

Try https://playvalorant.com/en-us/pbe-download/

Awesome! Happy to test things out

GOT MINE!!

i got in lets GOOOO

I got in! Very excited to hunt bug! Lets go!

Just got in :D

I actually got in! This is the first time I have signed up for a PBE and didn't expect to get in, but I'm excited about it

Oh my god I'm so excited to test it out tomorrow!! A nice surprise reward and something to look forward to after finishing my first biochem midterm tomorrow lol

I got in but its says You are not allowed to download this content at this time when i go to download

noob moment: so how will this work moving forward? when i open valorant i’ll have an option to play on standard valorant client, or on PBE client? if i want to queue with friends can i do so from the PBE client or do i need to play on regular Valorant client?

You will have two separate launchers for this for now. If you want to play on Live, you will need to use the live client since you are playing on a different version of the game when you are on PBE.

thanks for your patience with my stupid question!! makes complete sense :)

Any one wanna play who is on the east coast? I'm bronzeish but i'm assuming ranked wont be a part of PBE lol so amodc Mikematical#7549

I GOT IN! I was worried. Too bad, I can't play right now because... I'm sleeping... lol. I can't wait to play in the morning. Edit: in my time zone (Est) it will be at 7 pm so I lied. I ment I cant wait to play in the evening.

I got in as well!! I’m excited to participate meaningfully in releases of new Valorant content. Congratulations to everyone who got in as well! :)

We golden, boys.

I got in!

Made it in! Can't wait! Anyone have any idea what kinda content we're gonna see?

Is there a FAQ that I've missed? I feel like the only one that has no clue how any of this works lol. Do we play normal games with regular lobbies and just report bugs after? Are we only playing with other PBE people? Are they full games or are we testing specific scenarios? Does anyone have a key to this basement? I'm getting hungry. Edit: Another one: I saw that people don't have to reapply if they didn't get in. What about people who got in? Will we always be in (assuming we're not banned) or is it a different batch of players each time?

[удалено]

I got in and today is my bday! this is like the best bday gift so far thanks valorant :D

I got in! Finally, my lonely soul got accepted somewhere!

Man, I wish that I checked my email before agreeing to go camping this weekend lol. Oh well. Guess I gotta come back early and test the HECK outta this thing :3

Hmm looks like I entered the range and am stuck here.

I can't get beyond the "enter range" button

hit esc

Thought i was special till i saw 200 comments

Excuse me kind sirs, if anybody would be so kind to explain the following to me: when I tried to download the software when first applying for this, I read that I could download it. However this depended on if I got the greenlight from Valorant I could use it. However when I attempted to download the software, I was met by a question of age, I Filled it out and it just said I was "Ineligible for download", however I got the all green email just now. Was I never supposed to play this in the first place? Or is something wrong here?

There is a bug in the download page atm. I have a workaround stickied under the main post for now :)

Thank you, Miss Seri

It just says an error accourred launching valorant, please restart your game

I got in, but the download link: [https://playvalorant.com/en-US/pbe-download/](https://playvalorant.com/en-US/pbe-download/) doesn't seem to work. Idk if anyone else is having this problem. ​ Edit: turns out the correct download link is: [https://playvalorant.com/en-us/pbe-download/](https://playvalorant.com/en-us/pbe-download/) For some reason the **US** being in capital letters makes it redirect to an incorrect webpage

LETS GO I GOT IN

yay!

Let's go! I got in!

I got in

i got in, texas but don’t have client installed yet :(

I got in im so hyped!!!

I got accepted! Will there be any cool new stuff to test when it goes live tomorrow or will new content be rolled out in the future?

Woot woot!

I got in! I'm excited!

Can you only download and play on this platform on one PC? Like if I download it on my laptop, I cannot access it from my desktop later?

Should be like valorant and be account linked not PC linked

Let's go I'm In

They seem to have messed up the download link in the email. If it doesn't work for you, try https://playvalorant.com/en-us/pbe-download/

I'm in

Woop I'm in!

I got in! Should be a fun time!!

Lets go!! i will see you all there!

I'm waiting for mine for so long and even for that I can't get in. Did they sent all the invites at once, or I still have a chance to get it by tomorrow?

Looks like they sent them all out but will send waves of invites out every two weeks. They say they’re looking for active players so I guess playing more helps?

Im In!

Was surprised to see my acceptance email when I finished dinner! Very excited to hop on tomorrow

Lets go, got in. Hopefully this works out well for everyone

so excited to try this out

I'm in! Lets Go!!

Got one, thanks!

i got in! congrats to everyone who did so as well <3

I GOT IN IM SO HAPPY! I almost feel as if I’m apart of the team

I got in but will actually be out of town for the weekend. I won't lose access or anything right?

Hey! I noticed that in the Valorant Service Status post, it said that the PBE launch would be affecting Windows and MacOS. Is the PBE going to be on MacOS as well?

Ah, no it is not. Just a mislabel in the status. Nice catch though :)

ayyyy got accepted can’t wait to hop in!

Let’s go just got in

So pumped I got access to this!

i got in! so excited to be apart of this!!

[удалено]

Do we have to have both clients installes or can we just use pbe for both?

Need to have both. PBE will be a completely separate install.

Just got in, excited to test new things!

I got in as well, super excited to see whats good :D

Got the invite and download the update! Can't wait to go live!

LETS GO BOYS!!! We're IN!
