New 2023 Valorant Patch 5.12 Notes & New Swiftplay Mode

Riot Games has published New 2023 Valorant Patch 5.12 Notes & New Swiftplay Mode the final patch of the year, and it is a substantial one with changes to almost every agent on the roster. The next Valorant patch 5.12 will include the huge Chamber nerfs that the community has long called for. Riot will also give information on the map rotation, and we could receive a mechanism for reporting smurfs in games.

In addition, Valorant’s agents and arsenal will shortly get a sizable amount of meta-shaking balance changes. There will be other bug patches released to the shop in addition to the new skin line.

5.12 Patch Notes File Size

A 1-2 GB update is often one that is significant. However, patch 5.12 for the competitive shooter is anticipated to bring about a lot of new changes, including the new game mode “Swift play,” so the size of the patch may be greater than usual. Players that are adventurous may plan for patch 5.12 to need a little less than 2 GB of storage. The exact size of the patch may potentially vary.
