Riot Games’ Valorant May Have a Mobile Version in Development

After functioning touchscreen controls are discovered, it looks like Valorant might be heading to mobile.

Riot Games have been dominating the Twitch scene over the past few weeks with their closed beta of Valorant, and while the closed beta at the moment is specifically PC, it appears as if the game might be heading to mobile devices in the future.

This comes from a Reddit user, Spacixr who apparently tried to play the game on their laptop while in tablet mode. What resulted was a screen showing tablet/mobile controls designed for a touchscreen device. When interacting with the controls, Spacixr claims that they worked as intended.



In addition, at the start of April 2020, mobile icons were discovered through assets that point to mobile support if Riot Games ever went down that route. At current, Valorant is supposed to be a PC-exclusive for the time being with Riot Games saying they’re considering launching it onto consoles in the future.


Riot Games may be known for League of Legends which is also a PC specific title, but it also has mobile games. Legends of Runeterra, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Teamfight Tactics Mobile are some of the company’s mobile titles. So it’s not like the company isn’t a stranger to the handheld market.

Cent Cool for the kiddies that can't afford a PC and want to try it out. Assuming we will end up seeing it on console as well.


Yeah most likely will see it on consoles but will probs flop; like csgo did on the consoels.


CS:GO was awful on console. I bought it when I was younger because I couldn't afford a PC and make it was terrible I didn't even enjoy it.

Never been interested in games on my phone. Might be good for those mobile users.

I think that this might not be a good idea, probably Tencent Games making it.

Hopefully, I like to have a selection of games on my phone.
