Valorant Mobile Release Date

Riot has not announced the exact release date, leaving fans guessing when Valorant is coming to mobile. The game was expected to be released in late 2024, however, according to the latest info, we’ll have to wait till 2025 to enjoy Valorant on mobile.

When Is Valorant Mobile Beta Coming Out?

Although Riot Games has not announced an official release date for Valorant Mobile, thanks to constant gameplay leaks and closed beta testing in China, we can likely expect the release of Valorant Mobile around the end of Q4 2024 or in 2025. The developers have stated that they want the game’s mobile version to be as good as the PC version, so the final game’s quality is a priority for them over releasing a raw product. Therefore, we all should be patient.

Can I Pre-register For Valorant Mobile?

No, there is currently no information about an open Valorant Mobile beta test except for the exclusive, closed beta in China. However, a third-party application, Valoran Mobile, has already appeared on Android, where pre-registration has begun.

Development Issues

According to the head of the Valorant game studio, Anna Donlon, the development of the game’s mobile version turned out to be “incredibly challenging”, she stated during Valorant Masters Madrid Special Press Conference. The development took longer than they expected. This delay is due to the fact that this is not a direct transfer of the game from PC to mobile platforms. The development is carried out from scratch, taking into account all the features of Android and iOS.

Will Valorant Mobile Be Cross-Platform?

No, Valorant Mobile will not support cross-play with PC due to the obvious difference in skill and input methods on different platforms and many other technical nuances. Therefore, the game’s mobile version will be separate from the PC and unique in terms of gaming experience.

Valorant Mobile Differences From The PC And Console Versions

Valorant Mobile will be very similar to the PC version. Still, Riot is aiming to create a unique experience for mobile players and fully adapt it to the features and limitations of mobile devices. Based on various gameplay leaks and screenshots on Twitter, I can say that the developers are coping with this goal, and the mobile version is very similar to its older brother on PC.

Weapons, Valorant agents, skins, and maps look almost the same on the small screens of mobile devices. One of the key gameplay differences in the mobile version will be the shorter duration of matches. On PC, a match lasts more than 30 minutes on average, and the team that wins 13 rounds wins. In Valorant Mobile, the number of rounds for victory will be reduced to better adapt the game to the mobile gaming experience.

Leaks And Rumors

The main leaks are related to the closed beta, which took place in China, where the invited gamers could see the gameplay, agents, various skins, and maps. In addition, we also now know that in-game replays will be added to Valorant Mobile, which the developers have not yet been able to implement on PC. In addition, you will be able to play Valorant on Mobile in a unique Team Deathmatch mode.
