The controls of the game on PS5 are very good, according to another fan. This is probably the tightest most responsive at 60Hz this fan has ever played.
Valorantat 60Hz feels really great. According to this fan, most games run at 120 FPS and feel great. For example,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is great at 120 Hz but not at 60Hz.
On the other hand, this Riot shooter is great at 60 FPS on the PlayStation. This is because the game has a much higher server tick rate thanCall of Duty; that’s why it’s way more responsive on the PS5.

Talking about the console version, if you have a PlayStation, then you can enjoy the game with your friend who has an Xbox. That means the game supports crossplay on consoles. However, there’s no way you can play it with a PC player as there is no console-PC crossplay supported.
PC players right now are of no match as compared to the console players. To succeed in these kinds of games, you need to have extreme precision. With a mouse and keyboard, this aspect can be achieved easily, which the console controllers fail to pull off. That’s why there is no PC crossplay.
