After a test phase in June, Tencent has officially launched Valorant Mobile (无畏契约：源能行动)—the mobile version of the hugely popular tactical hero shooter—on both iOS and Android platforms via the Apple App Store and TapTap in mainland China, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between Lightspeed Studios and Riot Games.
Valorant blends the precision shooting characteristic of Counter-Strike with the unique character-driven abilities found in Overwatch. Its core gameplay revolves around 5-on-5 matches over 13 rounds, where each player has a single life per round and the objective is to plant or defuse a bomb—a familiar structure for Counter-Strike veterans.

This formal launch solidifies the partnership between Riot and Lightspeed—no surprise given both are under Tencent’s umbrella—but it’s particularly welcome news after Valorant Mobile had been quiet for some time. Thisisgame Thailand
