VALORANT Episode 9 Patch Release Times
Riot Games has not yet confirmed VALORANT's Episode 9 Patch release times. Previous patches have occurred in three stages. Each rollout stage typically affected a different region. The Americas, including the USA, Canada and LATAM countries, have been Stage 1 and received updates first. Stage 2 contained APAC countries like Korea. Finally, Stage 3 rolled out for EMEA / European countries. This format is not universal and some patches may not follow it.
Like release dates, VALORANT patch release times may change unexpectedly for multiple reasons. Patch notes are usually revealed globally at 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. PT before they roll out in-game.
Typical VALORANT Patch Release times:

We don't know everything the upcoming Episode 9 VALORANT patches will focus on. However, patches typically alter agent mechanics, provide quality-of-life updates and fix bugs. Vyse will likely see major updates in upcoming patches as she is a relatively new agent and is still settling into the meta. We know from leakers that some new bundles are arriving at the VALORANT shop — reputable account @ValorantUpdated revealed a rumored Aperture weapon skin bundle on September 10, 2024.
