About Valorant
Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter developed by Riot Games. It blends Counter-Strike's precise, economy-based gunplay with League of Legends-style "Agent" characters who each have unique abilities, adding a strategic layer beyond what classic tactical shooters offer. Since launching in 2020, Valorant has built a strong esports scene, and Riot places heavy emphasis on competitive integrity through its own "Vanguard" anti-cheat system. While designed to run on a wide range of hardware thanks to modest system requirements, high FPS and low latency remain a decisive edge at the competitive level.
