How many people play Valorant?
Riot Games has confirmed that the competitive shooter is rocking a monthly average of more than 14 million players, making it one of the most successful free-to-play shooters in the video gaming industry.
“For us it is incredibly exciting to like, in just a year, be able to build that kind of momentum,” executive producer Anna Donlon said. “And now to maintain that kind of momentum for a while now. I think it’s a testament to our dev team, and all of their commitment to our player base. [Valorant] definitely exceeded our expectations at launch and now has like come back to a state where we’re like ‘wow, that wasn’t just a launch-day fluke.’”
