Riot Games has finally given us something tangible on the long-rumored Valorant Mobile project. With pre-registrations live in China, gameplay trailers revealed, and first public playtests set for June 2025, fans across the globe are now eagerly awaiting more news on when they’ll be able to take the hero shooter on the go.
While there’s still no official worldwide release date, we’ve compiled everything known so farfrom expected agents and maps to system requirements and gameplay designto help you stay up to date on the mobile version of Riot’s hit FPS.
When Will VALORANT Mobile Be Released?
Pre-registration is now open in China, with Riot confirming that early playtests will begin in June 2025. Players in China can register via WeChat or QQ logins.
There’s no official release window for regions like the US, UK, Korea, or Japan, but based on Riot’s rollout history, it’s likely the rest of the world won’t see the game until 2026 or later.
China has one of the largest and most competitive mobile FPS communities in the world, said Anna Donlon, head of VALORANT Studios. Riot’s decision to start in China comes down to developer trust, market size, and a controlled beta environment.

Will VALORANT Mobile Be Free to Play?
Yes. VALORANT Mobile will be free to play, just like the PC and console versions. Monetization will be handled via the usual in-game purchases, including weapon skins, bundles, and cosmetics.
Transactions will use Valorant points (VP), though pricing and skin availability may differ by region and platform. Given that mobile gaming generated $118 billion in 2024, we can expect Riot to lean into cosmetic bundles heavily on mobile.
Platforms and Availability
Confirmed platforms: iOS and Android
Initial launch: China only
It’s unclear when the global release will begin, but expect phased rollouts similar to what we’ve seen from games like League of Legends: Wild Rift and PUBG Mobile.
