Valorant Mobile’s Long Wait Could Finally End in 2024

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say, the prospect of Valorant coming to mobile devices is nothing short of exhilarating! Having spent countless hours mastering strategies on PC versions and competing in tournaments, the idea of taking these skills on-the-go is truly tantalizing.


Riot Games is currently developing a mobile adaptation of their game ‘Valorant,’ hoping to provide an exclusive gaming experience for both Android and iOS device owners. The announcement was made in 2021 on the occasion of the game’s first anniversary, and since then, they have encountered some hurdles during development but are making steady progress.

Instead of simply transferring the PC version to mobile devices, ‘Valorant Mobile’ is being developed as an independent product. This necessitates creating unique gameplay elements, optimizing graphics for mobiles, and designing a user-friendly interface. As stated by studio head Anna Donlon, this strategy has delayed development but is crucial for ensuring a high-quality mobile experience.

The leaked video hints that classic maps, weapons, and characters from the computer game might appear in the mobile version. To fit mobile gaming style, battles are predicted to last less time than the usual 30-45 minutes seen on PC. Importantly, it’s been mentioned there won’t be simultaneous play across different platforms since Riot is aiming for a more mobile-focused experience.

🚨 With the Valorant Mobile Beta wrapping up on December 15th, could we expect a significant update to Valorant Mobile in December? Well, it’s anyone’s guess! #ValorantMobile #Gaming

The market for games played on mobile devices is incredibly lucrative, as users tend to play longer and spend more money compared to those who play on computers. Riot Games plans to enter this area because there’s a rising need for excellent mobile shooter games that blend strategic gameplay with competitive aspects.

Currently, it’s projected that ‘Valorant Mobile’ will debut towards the end of 2024, as beta trials have begun in China. This suggests that progress is moving smoothly, and enthusiasts should be eager for the opportunity to play ‘Valorant’ on their mobile devices in the not-too-distant future.
