Hello, everyone! I'm as thrilled about Valorant as you are! I've been inundated with questions like, "What platform will Valorant be available on?" "How can I secure a Valorant beta key?" and "Can my PC run Valorant?" In this informative post, I'll address all these inquiries, so stick with me.
Let's begin with the first question:
Which Platforms Support Valorant?
Many of my friends on consoles have asked if Valorant will be accessible on their platforms. The answer is that Valorant is exclusively for PC. Riot Games has a history of developing games solely for the PC platform, with a few exceptions for mobile. As for PS4 and Xbox, the current answer is no. According to Riot Games designer Trevor Romleski, the focus remains on the PC platform, although they're open to exploring other opportunities in the future.
What Does the Name "Valorant" Mean?
People have been curious about the meaning of "Valorant." In short, it signifies "valuable" or "to be valued." It's an impressive name for a game, and I'm certain we'll all treasure it.
Can My PC Handle Valorant?
Good news! Riot Games has optimized Valorant to be accessible to a wide range of systems. It doesn't demand top-tier graphics like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, making it playable on a broader range of computers. Riot's commitment to advanced server infrastructure means that players in more remote areas can enjoy a ping of 25 or less. This is fantastic news for competitive gamers.
Here are the system requirements for Valorant to achieve 144 FPS, 60 FPS, and 30 FPS.
- Valorant Minimum Requirements for 144 FPS
- Valorant Minimum Requirements for 60 FPS
- Valorant Minimum Requirements for 30 FPS
When Will Valorant Be Released?
The game is currently in a closed beta, and the official release date remains uncertain. The best estimate is that Valorant will launch in Summer 2020, potentially between June 20th and September 22nd. Fingers crossed for an earlier release!
How Can I Get a Valorant Beta Key?
Obtaining a beta key is relatively straightforward, but luck plays a crucial role. Here are the steps:
- Create a Riot Games account if you don't have one yet.
- Create a Twitch account if you don't have one yet.
- Connect your Twitch and Riot Games accounts by visiting Twitch, going to "Settings," and then selecting "Connections." Locate the Riot Games account and click "Connect." You'll need to log in to your Riot Games account.
- Watch streams that indicate "DROPS ENABLED" in their stream title and hope for a drop. Keep the stream volume low, as muting it might affect your eligibility. Drops are not available at all times, so follow popular streamers with enabled drops.
How Can I Download Valorant?
You can download Valorant from the official Valorant website, but you'll need a beta key to play.
How Will I Know If I Receive a Beta Key?
