Riot Games has announced significant updates to its anti-toxicity measures in VALORANT, emphasizing that toxic and abusive communications do not belong in the game. With the release of Patch 13.06, the developer has enhanced its Riot Voice Evaluation (RVE) technology to better identify and penalize abusive voice comms in Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. Additional language support is planned for the coming months.
Riot reports that recent improvements to RVE have already doubled the detection and penalization of voice abuse instances. The company stresses that player reports remain a critical component of these systems, urging users to report abusive behavior in-game so the team can evaluate and take appropriate action. This initiative aligns with the Riot Games Community Pact, which outlines the expectation for players to "Play to Win." The goal is to ensure that match outcomes are determined by skill and gameplay rather than disruptive behavior, allowing every player to compete in a fair and fun environment without facing harassment or threats.
