Is Valorant on Xbox One?

A Valorant Xbox beta isn’t available at the moment and the game is currently available only for PC users. There is a range of other popular games from Riot that are exclusive to the PC platform, however, the company have reportedly started to utilize some of the resources towards other popular platforms like gaming consoles and mobile devices. Interestingly, Riot’s popular online battle arena game, League of Legends, is soon coming to Xbox and mobile platform and will be titled League of Legends: Wild Rift. In addition, Auto battler game Teamfight Tactics has already made its way to mobile platforms along with a PC release.

While developers are only focused on the PC version of Valorant right now, they haven’t denied the possibility of an Xbox One release in the future. It is likely that the game will make it to Xbox One sometime in the future unless there is an exclusivity deal with Sony. And if the game finally makes it way to Xbox One, it will also run on the next-gen Xbox Series X as it is fully backwards compatible with the Xbox One.
