What Is VALORANT?

VALORANT is a highly tactical first-person shooter (FPS) game featuring 5v5 competitive gameplay. It boasts a blend of precise shooting mechanics and unique abilities tied to its characters, known as "agents." Players must utilize strategic thinking, adaptability, and quick reflexes to secure victory for their teams. Designed with competition in mind, the game offers constantly fresh experiences, keeping players engaged even after countless hours of gameplay.

Launched in June 2020, VALORANT is free-to-play, catering to a wide range of PC specifications to include a diverse player base. Through robust game server infrastructure and advanced cheat prevention systems, Riot Games ensures a fair and competitive gaming environment.

Within just a year after its release, VALORANT consistently exceeded 14 million monthly active players and registered over 500 million matches played. Notably, the 2022 VALORANT Champions Tour Masters 1 in Japan set a record for simultaneous connections at 410,000.
