It’s happening — Valorant Mobile is officially on the way, and fans have been buzzing ever since Riot Games dropped the news. But before you go clearing space on your phone, there’s one thing you should know: it’s kicking off only in China… for now.
Oh, I certainly understand. It’s a bit of a tease. But hey, it’s a first attempt.
Let’s break down what’s happening, how you can (maybe) get in early, and why this is such a big deal.
How to Pre-Register for Valorant Mobile (China Launch Only)
So if you’re in China — or have a way to register from there — you can already sign up to get a head start. Here’s the step-by-step rundown:
- First, head to the official Chinese site: valm.qq.com.
- You’ll need a QQ or WeChat account to log in. (Yep, there’s no way around that.)
- Once you’re successfully signed in, follow the on-screen prompts and agree to the usual terms and procedures.
- Boom — you’re in. If successful, you’ll get a message confirming your spot in the upcoming playtest.
And there’s a little bonus too: everyone who gets in will receive exclusive player cards as a thank-you for joining the early tests. Limited edition stuff. You already know collectors are going to go nuts for that.
Can You Pre-Register Outside of China?
Short answer? Not yet.
At the time of writing this, Riot hasn’t opened the pre-registration for global players. So if you’re in the U.S., Europe, or anywhere else — you’ll have to sit tight. Riot has said they’ll expand to other regions after the China rollout, but there’s no official timeline yet.
A Big Step Forward (Even If It’s Just the Beginning)
For those of us who’ve been dreaming of clutching rounds on the train or grinding ranked matches from the couch — this is huge. It’s not just about accessibility, it’s about taking one of the most competitive shooters out there and making it more flexible for how we live and play today.
Sure, we’re starting with China. Sure, we have to wait. But the fact that it’s actually happening? That’s the real win.
What do you think? Is Valorant Mobile something you’ve been waiting for? Think it’ll live up to the hype — or is mobile gaming just not your thing?
Let’s talk about it in the comments below. Whether you’re hyped, skeptical, or somewhere in between, I’d love to hear your take.
