Sony has just scheduled an announcement video for its much-anticipated collection of Inzone products on its YouTube channel. So, the speculations and leaks loitering for the past few weeks were indeed true. In addition, a notable industry informant gave an indication of Sony’s exciting new collaboration with a favorite FPS game, Valorant.
A Sony x Valorant tease would definitely give a fan hope about an upcoming Valorant console port. As most of us know, Riot Games has confirmed an upcoming mobile port for the tactical FPS reportedly in the beta phase at the moment. However, the team never confirmed a console port before.

In an interview with Anna Donlon, Executive Producer of Valorant, back during the game’s launch, Donlon had affirmed the presence of a console prototype. However, according to her, if the game doesn’t translate well on a console, there’s a chance Riot may scrap the idea altogether.

I also asked if this means if Valorant is coming to PS5 and was told no (or at least not announced at the event), so I'm assuming this is more of an "INZONE is the official headset/monitors for Valorant" or whatever.

Henderson states that the partnership could just be about Inzone Headsets and Monitors brilliantly catering to Valorant’s hardware requirements. As fans, we cannot stop imagining Valorant-inspired hardware, much like Spider-Man had his PS4!

Speculations suggest that the upcoming ‘Inzone’ gaming monitors will feature high frame rate support, low latency, and more. In fact, PlayStation consoles are not powerful enough to utilize such a monitor’s full potential. As fans speculated, Inzone was Sony’s idea to enter the PC market.
