Valorant was played by nearly 3 million players a day
The beta was also responsible for other big numbers. Viewers on Twitch racked up a ridiculous 470 million hours watching other people play, 34 million of those hours just from one single day. At its peak, 1.7 million people were watching Valorant streams together.
CS:GO, its closest competitor, is no slouch either, despite being much older. In March, it broke 1 million concurrent players, eight years after it launched. It's consistently one of the most played games on Steam too, sometimes sitting at the top spot. Valorant can draw in the big numbers now, but it's all about that staying power.
Valorant's closed beta concluded yesterday, but you don't have long before you can jump back in. Riot's resetting accounts and preparing a new mode, agent and map, and then it will get a full release on June 4.

RyanGossip Great numbers but how will it do when it's not in beta anymore. How long will it last is what I'm wondering.
I think it will have a long successful life span, as long as the cheaters are taken care of sooner rather than later.
I really don't think the game will live up to hype for that long.

I personally think it will still do great once released. 3M players a day in Beta is amazing.
