Valorant is Riot Games’ first-person competitive shooter, Riot is the developer for League of Legends, and they’re breaking away from the MOBA scene to try their hand with the FPS genre. Valorant released on 2 June, 2020. can we expect it to come to mobile devices as well?
Valorant is an intense FPS game, similar to CS:GO, where two teams of five players fight it out in the best-of-24-round matches. The characters in the game feature a wide variety of abilities, augmenting their role in a fight, and each team has an income economy determining what they can and cannot purchase for each round. It would be challenging to transfer a faithful form to mobile devices to keep it as intense and competitive as if it were on a console or PC.
At this time, Valorant is only available on PC, We don’t have any precise details if the company plans to convert the game’s playstyle and setting to Android or iPhone devices. With Valorant being a newly released game, it’s understandable Riot is taking its time to bring it to every platform out there, if it plans to expand it at all.
“While we are exploring other platforms like console and mobile, right now the team is working hard to deliver a top notch experience on PC”

The major platforms included in leaks were Apple’s iOS devices and Android phones, and they should all be getting Valorant at some point as well. The code shown off in the data leak directly mentions these platforms, so they may be the furthest along out of any port of Valorant. Which is to say they’ll be released after the PC version of the game but probably before the console versions.
