Valorant, the upcoming tactical shooter from Riot Games, may work on mobile devices as well as PCs (via DualShockers).
Reddit user Spacixr is one of the fortunate few who have access to the game through its closed beta. In one session, they played Valorant while their laptop was in tablet mode, which revealed on-screen controls seemingly tailored to mobile device interfaces. Here’s what it looked like:
Moreover, people had found mobile icon artwork in assets for Valorant earlier this month. It’s an interesting discovery, as Riot Games had stated that Valorant is in development for PCs only.
Icons relating to the game having Mobile support are in the game files, this doesn't confirm Valorant will be playable on Mobile but does confirm they have icons for it if they ever want to go that route. pic.twitter.com/2JZEYEgI1N

Of course, we can’t say for certain that Riot Games has a mobile port of Valorant in the pipeline. These icons that appeared in tablet mode may be a remnant of an earlier version of the game, and one that may have been intended for mobile gamers. Yet, if it is true, then the developer would likely release it after the official launch for PC, once a community has been cultivated. We’ll keep you updated once we know more.
Valorant will release for PC in summer.
