RIOT GAMES has officially announced the long-anticipated mobile adaptation of its popular tactical shooter, VALORANT.
The official VALORANT account on X posted about the groundbreaking announcement.
The game is set to debut in China, with pre-registration for playtesting already underway for Chinese players. While a global release date has not been confirmed, Riot Games plans to expand beyond China based on initial performance and feedback.
The development of Valorant Mobile is being led by LightSpeed Studios, a Chinese studio renowned for creating mobile versions of major shooters like PUBG and Apex Legends. The mobile version aims to deliver a high-quality experience that mirrors the PC version, maintaining the game's core mechanics while optimizing for mobile devices.
10 million have already pre-registered
Players in China who pre-register will be included in the upcoming playtest, with early sign-ups receiving exclusive player cards as a reward. The exact release date for Valorant Mobile remains unconfirmed, but reports suggest a potential launch in late 2025, with other regions likely receiving access no earlier than 2026.
According to some relevant playtesters and leaks reporters, VALORANT Mobile has reached 10 million+ pre-registrations in the first 48 hours in China since the announcement, and the first public playtest begins in June.
As the mobile gaming sector continues to grow, Riot Games' expansion of Valorant to mobile platforms reflects the industry's trend of adapting successful shooter franchises for mobile audiences. Fans worldwide eagerly await further updates on the global rollout of Valorant Mobile.
