Riot hasn’t announced any release date or time period for Valorant Mobile. The devs have been working on the mobile version for over three years now and significant progress has been made as evident in the leaked gameplay videos.
However, many leakers in the community expect Valorant Mobile’s beta to go live globally by the end of 2023 or early 2024. If this does happen, then the full game can launch a few weeks after the beta period comes to an end.
Keep in mind, that a beta version of Valorant Mobile was released in China to a very small group of people in 2022 and there’ve been several leaks surfacing from the region in 2023 as well.
