After officially confirming the release of Valorant mobile, fans are still stuck and have no idea about Valorant Mobile release date. So let me get this straight, just like your Facebook relationship section, it’s a little complicated.
The company hasn’t released any official details about the mobile version, however, the executive producer of Valorant, Anna Donolon said that
we’re thrilled to soon offer the same competitive VALORANT experience to even more global players
Thanks to the PC version of Valorant, the game quickly became the number 1 FPS competitive shooter and due to the game’s popularity, it’s definitely coming on mobile phones. Valorant mobile will have a couple of stages before it gets its official release on mobile. The alpha testing stage and the beta testing stage. So let’s talk about when will the beta be released?

When will the Beta of Valorant Mobile be released?
The beta version of Valorant will be released sometime in the middle or end of 2023. Right now, we don’t know the exacts but what we do know is that the beta will release in South East Asia first due to the amount of love this game has in Asia.
Another leak by Valorant Leaks and Info on Twitter suggested that Valorant will have an exclusive version that would require a friend invite system. In other words, you might need to invite a total of five friends to play the mobile version.
Additionally, Justin Hulog, the General Manager of Riot games quoted:
VALORANT Mobile is going to have a really big focus in Southeast Asia just because of the fact that it is a mobile-first region
So for South Asian fans, this news is a blessing.

How Will Valorant Mobile Differ from Valorant PC?
Anna Donlon also said that the mobile version won’t be on par with the PC due to the hardware limitations that come with mobile phones. But all in all, you can expect a pretty hip version of Valorant on mobile which we’ve seen in the leaked gameplay. But we still don’t know if it’s true or not.
Another thing to keep into consideration is that you won’t be able to play cross-platform with PC players. This is done to ensure that the game will remain mobile-level and won’t ruin the eSports experience either. As there are a lot of mechanical differences involved, cross-platform would never work smoothly on two different platforms. So in order to ensure a smooth gaming experience, Riot games decided to go for a non-cross platform experience.
Final Verdict
All in all, even though Valorant Mobile release date hasn’t been revealed by Riot Games, we can expect the beta to release sometime in 2023 or max 2024. The mobile version will be different from PC but it’s surely coming with a bang. So, are you going to invite your friends to play the beta version of Valorant Mobile?
