Music continues to play a vital role in shaping the VALORANT experience, and this year’s VALORANT Game Changers Championship anthem is a reflection of that dedication. The collaboration with KATSEYE celebrates the competitive spirit and energy that define VALORANT Game Changers.
“When Riot asked us to reimagine M.I.A for Game Changers, as a gamer I was like YES!” says Megan of KATSEYE. “That song has always been about confidence and showing up as your best self, and that message aligns so much with what Game Changers stands for. We wanted this version to celebrate every player who’s out there pushing limits and owning their power.”
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.
