Valorant is a popular free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Riot Games, the same company that created League of Legends. It was officially released in June 2020 after a successful closed beta period. The game is available for Microsoft Windows.
In Valorant, players assume the control of agents, characters who come from a variety of countries and cultures around the world. Each agent has unique abilities that they can use in matches, in addition to shared weapons. Matches are typically 5v5, with one team attacking and the other defending. The attacking team has a bomb, called the Spike, that they need to plant on a site. The defending team’s job is to prevent this from happening.
The game is round-based, and you switch sides after a certain number of rounds. The first team to win a set number of rounds wins the match. Valorant emphasizes strategy, teamwork, and precise shooting skills.
Valorant has become popular due to its strategic depth and engaging gameplay. It also has an esports scene, with tournaments being held regularly.
