Valorant Celebrates 1 Year With 14 Million Active Players

Valorant was one of the riskiest bets Riot Games launched to market on June 2, 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic was in full swing. Moreover, this one risked becoming “another game” among many others.

But that didn’t happen, and since it was launched, Valorant has continued to grow steadily. Now that the first anniversary is celebrating, Riot Games has announced impressive numbers. They currently have over 14 million active players every month and have created over 500 million games to date.

Within a year, Valorant managed to take a leading position in this extremely competitive segment of the computer first-person shooter market. It was also recently confirmed that Riot Games intends to expand its player base by also releasing a smartphone version of Valorant.

Valorant is just getting started, Riot Games promises

According to one executive producer, Valorant is still in its infancy and has a lot to offer to the millions of active gamers. During the first year, his ultimate goal was to gain the trust and respect of the global FPS community (First person shooter), followed by many new features.

It’s safe to say that the goals for the first year have been met, and it is likely that Riot Games is already preparing a large roster of new products for its fans.

One of the company’s recent bets has been a massive investment in the creation and development of a competitive system for the Valorant community, which has grown noticeably in recent months.

Valorant Competition continues to grow both in terms of participation and in terms of the community looking to attend game sessions. For example, the final of the VCT: Masters Stage 2 tournament in Iceland between Sentinels and Fnatic was watched live by over 1 million users.
