Variants for China region are now out of mobile closed beta release date. See information about global and India launch.

The highly anticipated VALORANT Mobile Closed Beta has officially launched, currently available only to users in China for both Android and iOS devices. Despite this regional restriction, players worldwide are actively attempting to gain access through VPNs and other methods, eager to experience this mobile adaptation of the popular 5v5 tactical shooter.

VALORANT Mobile Closer Beta: Release Date

Access to the test server is exclusively granted to those who successfully registered and were selected for the beta. The Valorant Mobile Closed Beta servers went live on June 12, 2025, at 6:30 AM IST. While its current availability is limited to Chinese app stores, the significant global interest, demonstrated by players’ attempts to bypass regional locks, underscores the game’s high demand. The success of these international access attempts remains to be seen.

VALORANT Mobile First Tournament and Pre-Registrations

Coinciding with the beta rollout, June 2025 will also mark Valorant Mobile’s first official tournament in China. This offline LAN event, held in Shanghai, will feature gameplay on the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro. The game has already achieved considerable traction, accumulating over 20 million pre-registrations on the Chinese app store.

VALORANT Mobile India Launch Concerns

According to the App Store, the expected Valorant Mobile release date in China is November 25, 2025, though an official announcement from the developers is still pending. Riot Games has partnered with Chinese developer Lightspeed Studios to create the mobile version of Valorant.

The global release strategy, including a potential launch in India, will be disclosed by Riot Games after the game’s debut in China. The situation in India is particularly complex due to past governmental bans on games linked to Tencent, Lightspeed Studios’ parent company.

This history raises questions about how Riot will approach the Indian market given its collaboration with a Chinese developer. Indian gamers will need to await official communication from Riot regarding their release plans, expected in the coming months.
