The whispers on Reddit have grown into a roar, with the constant question being posted: When will the world’s most popular tactical shooter make its debut on mobile?
Good news. The wait, it seems, is almost over, with Valorant Mobile no longer being a dream but instead, an imminent reality.
Forget grainy leaks and speculative YouTube videos. This is your definitive briefing for 2025.
We’ve researched, confirmed the intel, and are here to give you precise information on the Valorant Mobile release date, alongside the exclusive mobile features, and everything else you need to know on day one.
Pinpointing the Exact Valorant Mobile Release Date
For months, the release timeline for Valorant Mobile has been the best-kept secret, but now, that’s all changed.
After a testing phase and a series of controlled closed beta tests, primarily in China, the launch sequence is kicking into gear, and the initial rollout of Valorant Mobile will launch in China on November 25, 2025.
But why China? Well, with over 40 million pre-registrations on platforms like the Chinese app store Tencent Spark, China represents a massive audience to test out server performance before a worldwide launch.
So, when can the rest of the world play Valorant Mobile? All signs point to a global release following the launch in China, and as such, the expected window for North America, Europe, and other regions is late November to early December 2025.
Valorant Mobile Will Be More Than a Port
Let’s be clear: Valorant Mobile is not a simple port of the PC version. Instead, Riot, in a smart partnership with PUBG Mobile developers LightSpeed Studios, has built the game from the ground up for touchscreen devices.
The core of the game will remain the same, though: a high-stakes, round-based 5v5 tactical shooter with a vibrant cast of Agents, each with unique abilities. However, the experience has been expertly tailored for mobile gaming, making everything feel intuitive and responsive on a smaller screen.
Valorant PC vs. Valorant Mobile
To understand just how bespoke the mobile experience is, we’ve built a direct comparison of each design choice for the new platform:
Feature Comparison | Valorant (PC) | Valorant (Mobile) |
Main Gameplay | 5v5 Tactical Shooter | 5v5 Tactical Shooter (with shorter match options) |
Primary Game Mode | Spike Plant/Defuse | Spike Plant/Defuse, plus a new Team Deathmatch mode |
Match Length | ~30-40 minutes | Shorter matches designed for on-the-go play |
Cross-Play | No (PC only) | No cross-play with PC or Console |
Replay System | Not a native feature | Included at launch for reviewing matches |
Control Scheme | Keyboard & Mouse | Touchscreen with Gyro Aiming & Custom HUD |
Development | Riot Games | Riot Games partnered with LightSpeed Studios |
Exclusive Mobile Features & Gameplay Details
The decision to build a separate mobile version has unlocked plenty of new features designed specifically for mobile players.
Key Mobile Features:
● Dedicated Replay System: A feature PC players have requested for years will be available in Valorant Mobile from day one, meaning you’ll be able to review your matches.
● Team Deathmatch Mode: For those moments when you don’t have time for a full Unrated match, a mobile-first Team Deathmatch mode will offer fast-paced, action-packed gameplay perfect for a quick session.
● Intuitive Controls with Gyro Aiming: Precision is everything in Valorant, and the mobile version will deliver with a fully customizable HUD and the option for gyroscope-based aiming.
● Official Emulator Support: Recognizing that some players prefer a desktop setup, Riot will offer official support for select PC emulators.
Valorant Pre-Registration and System Requirements
Pre-registration for Valorant Mobile is already live in certain regions and is expected to open globally on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store as the launch date nears.
But will your device be able to handle the action? Riot and LightSpeed have optimized the game to run on a wide array of hardware without sacrificing performance.
Expected System Requirements:
Android Devices:
● Chipset: Snapdragon 675 / Hisilicon Kirin 970 / Mediatek Helio G90T / Exynos 8895 or better
● RAM: 4GB
iOS Devices:
● Chip: A11 Bionic or later
● Device: iPhone XR or newer
These requirements mean that most modern, mid-range smartphones will be able to run the game at a solid FPS.
