VALORANT Game Update 5.12 – It Only Took Two Years
Named ‘SwiftPlay’, the beta is now live from December 6th 2022 to January 10th 2023.
Overall, Riot is testing out a new ‘standard 5v5 unrated mode, but condensed’ – here are the rules below:
- First to 5 rounds, each half is 4 rounds
- Set credit amounts granted at the start of the round, increasing with each round
- Weapon and Credit carry over to the next round
- 2 Ult points granted at the start of each half
- Sudden death overtime
- Match time is approximately 15 minutes
Warming up for ranked now has multiple avenues.

Otherwise, this is only one of many changes which are shaking the meta in VALORANT Patch 5.12
