Riot Games has announced that its sixth gameserver for VALORANT in the Asia Pacific region is slated to launch in Manila. Set to go live with Patch 11.04 on August 20 at 5:00 AM (PHT), the Manila gameserver aims to bring better connectivity and enrich the game experience of Filipino VALORANT players.
The Manila server is expected to deliver lower ping, reduce instability, and improve overall connectivity. It hopes to eliminate many of the infrastructure-related limitations Filipino players often face when connecting to overseas servers—most notably in Hong Kong.
VALORANT’s gameserver in Manila will not affect the performance of its Hong Kong server, which has been the primary hub for Pinoy players since 2020. The game has a strong and active player base across Asia Pacific, so even if some players choose to switch to the new server, game quality and matchmaking on the Hong Kong server will stay resilient.
