Early patch notes have been released on the Valorant PBE and we can see beforehand what's being planned and what's about to change. Here are the changes.
Valorant PBE is the Public Beta Environment where test versions of Valorant are available for the beta testers. If you wish to know more about it & how to join check out Valorant PBE & How To Access It?
Valorant Update 7.03: Details
The Patch is not yet available for the main client and is a few days away from it. Starting August 4th, PBE members have the possibility to have a sneak peek into the new patch changes and see what they do.
This patch doesn't have any major gameplay changes, but there is one that will upgrade the "rendering system". What this will do is it will help the devs in their goal of making the Valorant System more "maintainable" in the near future.

Test Version is scheduled to end on the 7th of August 2023 at 11 AM Pacific Time, and it is focused on the Store & Battle Pass updates primarily made to improve the User Friendliness. Apart from this, it will also have some bug fixes regarding agent portraits, player settings, the new Esports Hub & more.
While the official release of VALORANT’s Patch 7.03 is still days away, a test version hit the PBE servers on August 4, giving players a peek into the final patch notes. Besides an interesting mention of an upgrade to the “rendering system,” the rest of the patch appears to be pretty basic, only bringing a few feedback-focused changes to our plate.
