Valorant, the character-based tactical shooter developed by Riot Games, has been the talk of the town ever since its closed beta release in 2020. With frequent additions of new content, the game has successfully kept its playerbase engaged and satisfied.
Riot Games regularly releases patches to the game, introducing new Agents, maps, modes, and cosmetics while tweaking existing ones to keep things fresh. This constant innovation caters to the playerbase’s desire for novelty and helps maintain the game’s popularity.

If you’re wondering how many people are playing Valorant, the answer is impressive. As of April 30, 2023, the game has recorded 20,081,479 players, with over six million playing on the last day of April alone. These numbers are a testament to the game’s growing popularity, which has seen an increase of almost three million players in the last six months alone.

Compared to other popular FPS games, Valorant boasts a big playerbase. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had 1.5 million players in April 2023, according to Steamcharts, while Overwatch 2 saw 26.1 million players in the same month. However, Riot’s tactical shooter is the closest rival to these games, as it has incorporated elements from both into its gameplay.
Despite the recent announcement of Counter-Strike 2, Valorant’s player count hasn’t been affected much, with Riot’s unique abilities and art style setting it apart from its competitor.
As long as Riot Games keeps adding exciting new content such as new Agents, maps, and skins, Valorant’s popularity is only projected to rise. Who knows, maybe the game will even surpass the level of popularity of its sibling, League of Legends.
