VALORANT
Role:
Console Migration Support
.webp)
Riot looked to us to assist them in bringing their tactical first-person shooter VALORANT to the latest generation of consoles. Maintaining the precision associated with the high-skill gunplay that VALORANT is known for presented many challenges in optimizing the game for console controllers. Console migration also required UI updates to allow for information to be readable in various game room settings. We helped Riot rebuild the user interface, using the latest technologies in the Unreal Engine. As VALORANT benefits from high framerate and low latency, we assisted efforts to bring 120 FPS gameplay to the living room. Development tools were augmented to better enable workflows to support a game that receives frequent updates to ensure parity across all platforms.
