Valorant skyrocketed to the top of PC shooter rankings in 2022, and Riot Games is bringing the tactical 5v5 action to mobile devices for gamers on the move. Long-rumored, Valorant Mobile could launch sooner than expected, based on credible leaks and developer insights.
Exact beta access requirements remain under wraps, but leaks point to an invite-only system via friends. If you know someone at Riot, you're in luck. According to leaker ValorMike, beta spots will be limited to invites from existing testers—each can share a referral link with up to five friends, though invitees likely can't extend further invites.
Beta users will naturally want to loop in friends to test the game together. Initial invites may mirror Riot's approach with Project A, their early Valorant testing phase.
As Riot shares more details, speculation runs high. In the meantime, sharpen your mobile gaming reflexes with similar titles.
Riot's Anna Donlon confirmed development is underway, targeting a late 2022 or early 2023 launch—the 'second full year' mark from Valorant's PC debut. No firm date yet, but progress is steady.
The mobile version will preserve Valorant's competitive core but adapt for touch controls, without crossplay between PC and mobile to honor platform differences. Riot recognizes mobile demands unique gameplay tweaks for optimal fairness and fun.
