Valorant Mobile is officially back in the spotlight, and after months of silence, the updates are huge. From China-exclusive betas to a potential global release window, here’s everything you need to know about Riot’s highly anticipated mobile version of Valorant.
Valorant Mobile Beta Is Now Playable in China
After a long development pause and limited news, Valorant Mobile entered closed beta testing in China on June 12, 2025. While it’s not globally available yet, Chinese players are now able to download and test the game on Android and iOS. Screenshots and gameplay clips have leaked online, showing off early versions of the game on both high and low graphics settings.
Even at its lowest settings—designed for older phones—the game looks smooth and functional, offering a Roblox-style visual polish. However, the final product is expected to look significantly better at global launch.
Tencent Is Behind Development
As previously reported, Tencent Games is handling the development of Valorant Mobile, while Riot Games remains the publisher. Tencent’s track record includes industry giants like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile. With Riot’s backing and Tencent’s mobile expertise, Valorant Mobile is expected to be one of the most polished mobile shooters to date.
This powerhouse partnership aims to avoid the shutdown fates of Apex Legends Mobile, Warzone Mobile, and other failed titles. Riot is taking its time to ensure that Valorant Mobile isn’t just released—it’s successful long-term.
Global Launch Date: November 25, 2025?
While there is no official confirmation yet, several leaks and screenshots suggest that the global release of Valorant Mobile could happen on November 25, 2025. This date has appeared in Chinese app stores and has been included in pre-registration previews on both Android and iOS.
Players and data miners also uncovered key art with the 25th of November date attached, further reinforcing the speculation. Given the timing of the closed beta, it aligns with Riot’s likely schedule to push for a global launch in late 2025.
Over 20 Million Pre-Registrations in China Alone
Within just 48 hours of the Chinese beta opening, Valorant Mobile crossed 10 million pre-registrations. A week later, that number had ballooned past 20 million. The hype is real—and this is only in China.
Imagine what will happen when Riot flips the switch for global pre-registration. Valorant Mobile could easily become the biggest mobile FPS launch in years.
Dev Diary and Future Updates Coming Soon
Riot and Tencent have teased more updates to come, including a full dev diary breaking down their vision for Valorant Mobile and how they plan to avoid the pitfalls of other mobile shooters. These insights will be part of the next wave of communication leading up to global launch.
Expect the next update to include details on how to download and play the Chinese beta version, as well as regional release plans and roadmap confirmations.
