Same Game, Same skills, fewer rounds, less time. Welcome to Valorant Swift Play.

Valorant Swift Play, currently in its beta, is a short game mode that brings the experience of traditional Valorant but at a faster pace. Only one player can carry the Spike in this new game mode. The game mode will go live for a short time in January 2023. Here’s all we know about Valorant Swift Play so far.

Valorant has much fewer rounds compared to CS: GO but Riot is doubling down. With Spike Rush, players had an opportunity to find a game even if they don’t have much time available. They can complete a game quickly and then move on. It seems the popularity of Spike Rush is something Riot wants to emulate in other game modes as well. Valorant Swift Play is one such example where the first team to reach four-round wins will secure the victory. However, it is different from Spike Rush and brings a new level of strategic gameplay into focus in the shorter game mode.
