Since its release in June 2020, players from Russia were unable to use voice chat in the competitive shooter Valorant.
As the reason, the developers cited “uncertainty in the regulatory environment.” This restriction did not apply to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and other countries in the region.
A few hours ago, game producer Sara Dadafshar announced that players from Russia can now use voice chat.
As a reminder, on June 2, an agency under Roskomnadzor proposed to introduce regulation of the video game market in Russia.
