Riot Games has officially revealed that the closed beta for Valorant Mobile will roll out in China in June 2025. Andy Ho, Valorant’s Executive Producer, revealed this in a recent developer update. Riot has said that the beta will become available in the coming weeks.
Looking back at the journey of the game, Ho said, “When we released Valorant back in 2020, we really never thought that in five short years we’d be on the brink of introducing a mobile version of the game to millions of players.”
Pre-Registration and Exclusive Rewards
Pre-registrations for the closed beta are already available for Chinese players. If they pre-register, they will be able to participate in the playtest and receive special rewards in-game. The rewards include up to four special player cards that can be earned by completing certain in-game missions during the beta test. A rare Wingman-themed player card is one of the notable rewards.
To develop Valorant Mobile, Riot Games collaborated with Lightspeed Studios, a Tencent-owned game studio famous for its development of mobile versions of popular shooters such as PUBG Mobile and Apex Legends Mobile. Rick and Sydney from Lightspeed Studios provided insights into the process of development in the developer update and gave a sneak peek into different in-game aspects.
