Everything You Should Know about Valorant Mobile

After announcing the console launch of Valorant, Riot Games is set to expand its hit tactical shooter to mobile devices.

As beta testing progresses and pre-registration opens in China first, you must be curious about how this popular PC game comes to mobile.

Here's everything we know about Valorant Mobile so far:

Riot Games, known for adapting League of Legends into the mobile hit Wild Rift, now aims to replicate that success with Valorant Mobile.

Based on the official announcement, it will partner with LIGHTSPEED STUDIOS, the developer of PUBG Mobile to bring Valorant to a new platform.

The official launch in China is slated for mid to late 2025, following a planned playtest later this year.

While Riot commits a future global expansion, no specific timeline has been confirmed.

Gameplay

Agents & Maps

The mobile edition promises to mirror the PC experience, featuring agents like Jett, Sage, Sova, and Phoenix, alongside maps such as Ascent, Bind, and Sunset.

Also, a rumor suggests that there will be "mobile-only maps" to bring a completely new experience to players.

Optimized for mobile devices, the game retains its tactical essence, ensuring smooth performance and high-quality visuals tailored to smaller screens.

Replay System

Leaks from beta test suggest that a replay system will be available on mobile, allowing you to watch replays after completing your games (including ranks and normal games).

MVP Animations

Another interesting new feature is MVP animations. Every agent has their own unique poses during the game settlement screen.

Editor's Comments

If you're a tactical shooter enthusiast, you might be curious about Valorant Mobile's edge over rivals like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty: Mobile.

Its focus on unique agent abilities and precise gameplay could set it apart, but success hinges on seamless optimization and a swift global rollout.

Given Riot's track record, expectations are high—though competition in the mobile shooter space is fierce.
