VALORANT is one of the most popular games on PC and console, with a mobile release also in the plans. Though there hasn't been an official announcement, VALORANT developers have been sharing sneak peeks of information regarding the game's mobile version.

In 2024, VALORANT's studio head, Anna Donlon, shared that developing VALORANT's mobile version had been "incredibly challenging." She also noted that the development has been slower than anticipated, making fans wonder when VALORANT Mobile would be released.

What is VALORANT Mobile's release date?

VALORANT Mobile is expected to launch in 2025. There isn't a confirmed and concrete release date for the game yet. VALORANT Mobile's beta version was available for play in select regions, like China, highlighting that the game may not be that far away from being a complete product.

While putting together a one-to-one port could have been faster, Riot Games prefers taking its time to release optimized products. Despite being quite similar to League of Legends, Wild Rift still features some core differences that make the game more suitable for mobile. The developers take that additional step to turn their popular games into native mobile products for iOS and Android.

VALORANT Mobile and its regular version can still have similarities, like potentially Rank Shields, but the Mobile version would still have unique characteristics, making it a better fit for mobile.

Which regions have access to VALORANT Mobile?

VALORANT Mobile will be accessible from all Riot Games-supported regions when it is released. At the time of writing, the Chinese region had a brief VALORANT Mobile beta access while the other regions continued waiting their turn.

How to pre-register for VALORANT Mobile

When VALORANT Mobile's release draws near, the game will likely be featured on Google Play and Apple App Stores. When this happens, you can pre-register your interest and receive a notification when the game becomes available for download.

Alternatively, Riot Games may launch a dedicated website for VALORANT Mobile, where players can register with their existing Riot accounts.

Does VALORANT Mobile support cross-platform?

Considering VALORANT Mobile will be a standalone title, we don't expect it to have cross-platform capabilities. Wild Rift, for example, doesn't support crossplay with League of Legends.

Doing crossplay between mobile and PC is often a slippery slope since the pairing can make it challenging to balance the game. While some titles accomplish this feat, the non-cross-platform approach is often better for casual and competitive players since it ensures an even playing field.
