Valorant is a competitive 5v5 character-based tactical shooter developed and published by Riot Games. The game is free-to-play and is available on Windows. It was first teased under the codename Project A in October 2019, and after a closed beta period with limited access on April 7, 2020, it was officially released on June 2, 2020.

The game is set on a global stage and allows players to blend their style and experience. Players have 13 rounds to attack and defend their side using sharp gunplay and tactical abilities. With one life per round, players need to think faster than their opponents to survive. The game offers various modes including Competitive, Unranked, Deathmatch, and Spike Rush.

In Valorant, creativity is a player’s greatest weapon. Players choose an Agent armed with adaptive, swift, and lethal abilities that create opportunities for their gunplay to shine. No two Agents play alike, just as no two highlight reels will look the same.

Each map in Valorant is a playground designed to showcase creative thinking. They are purpose-built for team strategies, spectacular plays, and clutch moments. Players are encouraged to make plays that others will imitate for years to come.

Valorant is a character-based tactical shooter, meaning each character, or Agent, has unique abilities. These abilities, combined with the game’s precise gunplay, create a unique gameplay experience that requires both skill and strategy.
