Valorant Developers Open To Releasing On Other Platforms

4
Riot Games upcoming Valorant is going to be the first non-League of Legends title they’ve ever made, and as a 5v5 competitive first person shooter with shades of Overwatch and Counter-Strike, it’s also a completely uncharted territory for them as developers. That said, it’s fair to say that there’s more that a teensy bit of excitement surrounding the game, but while it’s been confirmed for a PC release, there’s a big question mark over everything beyond that. So are Riot planning on releasing the game on other platforms down the line to expand the game’s audience and make it accessible to even more people?

Short answer? Maybe. Talking with Twitch streamer TimTheTatman, the Valorant developers said that a potential console port of the game down the road is something that they are open to, but that for now, they remain focused on the game’s PC release.

“Our focus right now is on PC,” said Valorant lead designer Trevor Romelski. “We’re open to exploring new opportunities for other platforms, but for the time being what our current focus is, is on the PC platform.”


If Valorant proves to be successful – and all early indications suggest that it will certainly be quite successful – there’s a very good chance that Riot Games do choose to bring it over to other platforms- but I guess we’re going to have to wait for that confirmation.

Valorant is due out for PC later this year

HxM I'd be down for this game to come to console just for a new f2p game that isn't complete garbage, but I don't see it happening :(


After playing it on PC I don't think it would be very good on console.

they already said that they have no plans for it to be on console. it would be at least three years if they were to lmfao its a PC game my dudes.

To be honest it wouldn't even be the same game if it comes to consoles. You can't have recoil on console unless you expect no one to hit shit. The whole point of a precise shooter like valorant or cs is to have precision which this game would lack with a controller.

Would be nice to see for those who don't have a PC. Personally I have been trying to get into the closed beta for days. :(

Gary Hopefully console players can enjoy it but no aim assist because aim assist in "competitive" shooters literally ruins the game.


Yeah I feel like this game just isn't going to be good at all on console.

This will be great as long as it's crossplay. But i honestly hope it stays on pc for awhile!

This game looks pretty mediocre I'm going to be surprised if it gains a large following
