Valorant 5.05 patch notes

Update 5.05 features quite a few social and gameplay system updates aimed at improving the quality of your experience in Valorant. From fixing various bugs to updating tooltips for overtime rounds, these changes while minor will definitely have a noticeable impact on the in-game performances.

Given that the Valorant Champions Istanbul 2022 is currently underway, Riot has ensured to not make any changes to the Agents or Maps in the game. However, it is expected that the next patch after the championship will feature quite a few balancing changes to both, Agents and Maps.
