Riot Games is now officially launching VALORANT Mobile in English for the first time, something that players have been waiting very long for. The beta build is already prepared for both iOS and Android, and while the gameplay is not completely the same as the PC version, much of the content is carried over into the mobile version.
The VALORANT Mobile English beta is planned for September 16, 2025 only in China.
Earlier, the first launch was already held in China on August 19, 2025, and the pre-downloads had been open since August 15, which gave people chance to install it before. Riot has not confirmed the exact time the servers open for English. The official starting time is set on 19:00 CN Time.
The upcoming English beta will be bringing more content for players. In this version, the agents Clove and Fade are included, plus the new map Pearl is added too. Riot has already confirmed that these are going to be part of the mobile beta. There is still no word global English beta. Some sources mention we can expect a global beta.
