After an action-packed inaugural event in January, Erena and Riot Games have announced the second rendition of the North American (NA) VALORANT Console Open with a $10,000 prize pool. The event is open to all eligible players and will exclusively take place on the console version of VALORANT.

On top of promising more fierce competition, the event will celebrate VALORANT’s five-year anniversary with themed Bounty prizes.

The NA VALORANT Console Open is a tournament where all NA VALORANT console players can compete! Whether you are a VALORANT console export or have never played VALORANT on console before, all players can compete both for placement prizing and Bounties for a total prize pool of $10,000!

The event is open to all players in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada. Players must be at least 13 years old and play the event on a console (Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5).
