Valorant For Consoles And Mobile Being Explored, Says Game Director

3.8
Valorant is ramping up to be one of the next big titles in the hero shooter genre. Coming via Riot Games, the game looks to shake up the scene, and thus far the reception to the ongoing beta has been pretty positive. Those who game on consoles and mobile are looking on with hope that the game will come to their preferred platform. Well, there’s some good news and some bad news about that.

The Express Online got to ask Game Director Joe Ziegler about the game coming to other platforms besides PC. He said, “While we are exploring other platforms like console and mobile, right now the team is working hard to deliver a top notch experience on PC.” This echoes what was said by the game’s Lead Designer, though this seems to be the first it’s been implied that there’s some degree of active exploration of consoles and mobile support. Mobile controls were reportedly found in the beta, so it’s possible that could be related here.

However, for the time being, it seems the focus is on the PC version. Valorant is set to launch this year, and odds are, any console or mobile port will come after the PC launch.

Would love to be able to play it on my Xbox, it looks and sounds like an incredible game. Can't wait for esports to take over! Looks super competitive!

OGTrey079 If they add it to console it won't even be the same game with how bad controllers are. How do you expect to have recoil control and precise aiming. It'd be a handicap version of the game lol if it comes to consoles.


Excactly what happened with CSGO when it came to console LOL.


CSGO on console is just so awful. I thought they would update it and try to make it better but it's just terrible and they never did lol.


Yeah it's honestly so bad but I feel like the same will happen with Valorant. They're kinda similar.


They're very similar when it comes to game mechanics. The only thing I see different aside from the abilities is the guns. Other than that it is the same game so I could definitely see it having the same outcome as CSGO did on console.

Valorant would be terrible on console to be honest. I don't see the game being fun at all and aim assist would definitely ruin it.

I do hope if Valorant add console and mobile support for the game - console and mobile merge together so that pc players are merged together and not separate. I really don't like when pc players play with consoles players especially for this game it should be pc players playing together.

I'm not sure how this would play out on other consoles/mobile but I'm happy they would explore the option for the console/mobile players.

Would definitely try it if it came to Xbox.
