VALORANT Mobile India Launch Concerns
According to the App Store, the expected Valorant Mobile release date in China is November 25, 2025, though an official announcement from the developers is still pending. Riot Games has partnered with Chinese developer Lightspeed Studios to create the mobile version of Valorant.
The global release strategy, including a potential launch in India, will be disclosed by Riot Games after the game’s debut in China. The situation in India is particularly complex due to past governmental bans on games linked to Tencent, Lightspeed Studios’ parent company.
This history raises questions about how Riot will approach the Indian market given its collaboration with a Chinese developer. Indian gamers will need to await official communication from Riot regarding their release plans, expected in the coming months.
