The replay feature is just one aspect. Riot includes a new chat feature in Valorant China, similar to the one used by Discord. It makes in-game communication much easier, especially since there is no need for a second software. While it does not sound too big, players can see better performance from their systems since they do not need to run multiple apps at once.

Apart from these features, added features for Valorant China have detailed statistics for each weapon as well as strategy guides. These are accompanied by an assortment of exclusive skins, in addition to those available globally. With only Valorant China receiving these features, fans thought this was the death bell for NA Valorant. However, the lack of these features being released for other regions keeps fans hopeful.
It is not just the NA scene that did not receive these features. Europe and other parts of Asia, where the Valorant competitive scene is quite strong, did not get these features as well. As a result, fans remain hopeful Valorant fans all over the world get access soon!
