What is Valorant?

Valorant is a character-based 5v5 tactical shooter set on the global stage. 

Outwit, outplay, and outshine your competition with tactical abilities, precise gunplay and adaptive teamwork.

You have 13 rounds to attack and defend your side using sharp gunplay and tactical abilities. And, with one life per-round, you'll need to think faster than your opponent if you want to survive.

Valorant key features

Defy the limits

Blend your style and experience on a global, competitive stage. Take on foes across Competitive and Unranked modes as well as Deathmatch and Spike Rush.

Creativity is your greatest weapon

More than guns and bullets, you’ll choose an Agent armed with adaptive, swift and lethal abilities that create opportunities to let your gunplay shine. No two Agents play alike, just as no two highlight reels will look the same.

Fight around the world

Each map is a playground to showcase your creative thinking - purpose-built for team strategies, spectacular plays and clutch moments. Make the play others will imitate for years to come.
