Riot Games’ VALORANT has become one of the most popular esports titles in recent years. It’s no surprise due to the free-to-play first-person shooter offers fun gameplay mechanics and plenty of depth, thanks to the 28 Agents players can choose from. Available since June 2020 on PC, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox in 2024, VALORANT Mobile had an early release in 2025, starting in China.
In addition, the VALORANT Champions Tour, established by Riot Games in 2020, soon after the game’s release, has attracted numerous experienced players and substantial viewership, becoming a major draw at several esports tournaments worldwide.
