Now live around the world, Valorant is a 5v5 first-person tactical shooter that is available in most regions. Gamers can create an account and download the free-to-play PC game here.

Valorant is a precise and lethal multiplayer game with high-fidelity gunplay, a diverse arsenal of guns, agents with unique abilities, and competitively tuned maps for thousands of hours of play. The game pits two teams of five players against each other to win a round-based, attackers vs defenders, best-of-24-rounds gunfight.

In the game, players choose from a diverse cast of hypernatural, battle-ready agents from real-world cultures and locations, each bringing a set of unique abilities that complement gunplay through tactical information and strategic support, changing the way players approach a situation.

Abilities are designed to create tactical opportunities for players to take the right shot. Valorant is highly consequential, so players should know for certain that their win or loss is the sole outcome of their own skill and strategy.
