Riot Games Working on Bringing VALORANT to Other Platforms
Riot Games is determined to expand the player base of VALORANT beyond just PC players. However, fans hoping to play the game on other platforms will have to wait a bit longer for any significant developments.
During a recent “dev diary” video previewing 2023, VALORANT dev team lead Anna Donlon acknowledged that the team is actively working to bring the game to other platforms. However, she admitted that the progress is slower than anticipated.
Donlon emphasized the team’s commitment to getting it right and did not provide any specific information about beta testing or a potential release window for VALORANT on other platforms.
While there were no new confirmations in the recent video, Riot Games has previously expressed its intention to release VALORANT on mobile. In fact, they confirmed this plan shortly after the game’s official release last year. It has been reported that a mobile beta version of the game has already been released in China.
Moreover, job listings at Riot Games in November hinted at their plans to bring VALORANT to consoles like Xbox and PlayStation in the future. Previous updates to the game have included files referencing a possible console release.
Interestingly, Riot Games has formed a partnership with Microsoft, offering additional benefits to Game Pass subscribers. This partnership includes access to all champions and agents in both VALORANT and League of Legends, along with XP boosts and other rewards.
In conclusion, while there is no definite timeline for the release of VALORANT on other platforms, Riot Games is actively working towards making it happen. Fans can expect the game to eventually be available on mobile and consoles, providing even more options for enjoying the popular esports title.
