VALORANT Patch 10.05 Notes: Ranked Rollbacks are finally here!

VALORANT Patch 10.05 is here, and so are Ranked Rollbacks! Riot Games continues the fight against cheating in VALORANT, this time awarding players with increased protection against cheaters.

After big changes to VALORANT to start the year with the addition of two new agents in Tejo and Waylay, Ranked Rollbacks turns yet another page for the game. Aside from this most welcome introduction, however, Patch 10.05 will see only a short list of bug fixes headed our way when the patch releases on March 19 across the world (March 18 for the Americas).

Patch 10.05 Notes

Ranked Rollbacks

• If you have lost a match to a confirmed cheater, you will become eligible for an RR refund:

  • You will receive a pop-up notification detailing the exact amount of RR that will be refunded.
  • To receive the refunded RR, you must first complete one Competitive match.
  • After the match, the refunded RR will be reflected in the total RR gained or lost for that match.

• Note: Ranked Rollbacks are only valid within the current Act. This means that you can't save a refund for another Act.
