Riot Games has officially announced the beta version of Swiftplay, the newest mode for Valorant. Swiftplay, as the name indicates, is a shorter mode that players may test out in Valorant. In the future patch, Valorant will make Swiftplay available worldwide as a brand-new game mode. With the release of Patch 5.12 on December 6, 2022, gamers in all areas will have access to Swiftplay’s beta version.
Swiftplay will effectively be a shorter version of Unrated in Valorant. This gives players the opportunity to play in a setting similar to that of the conventional Unrated mode but with a limited match duration. Since it takes up much lesser time, this new game mode seeks to provide players with the essential Valorant experience quickly. Swiftplay Beta will be added to Valorant’s list of game modes along with Unrated, Competitive, Spike Rush, Deathmatch, Escalation, Replication, and Custom Game with the release of Episode 5 Act 3’s final patch.

- The winning team will be the first team that completes 5 rounds, with 4 rounds for each half.
- Victory conditions will be identical to those of conventional Spike modes, with one spike bearer on each team.
