Accessing the closed beta

Valorant’s announcement says the first wave of players will step into the server in April 2020. Limited space is available for players from Europe, Canada, the United States, Turkey, Russia, and CIS.

Residents of countries eligible to partake in the closed beta need to simply follow these three easy steps:

1. Register for an account with Riot Games

2. Link your Riot Games account with your Twitch account.

3. Watch Valorant Twitch streams tagged with “Drops Enabled” when the closed beta begins on April 7.

Players who follow the above three steps will have a chance to randomly receive closed beta keys via Twitch drops. If you’re not a registered Twitch user, you can set up your account here.

More on Valorant

Valorant is a highly-anticipated 5v5 first-person shooter that has attracted a lot of attention from the gaming community since its initial announcement. The goal of each round is for the attackers to detonate a spike on one of the three sites. Meanwhile, the counter-agents must prevent the attackers from destroying the site.

While the game can’t be accessed yet, Riot Games has made the game launcher available for download. Players can download the executable by visiting the website here. To access the launcher, the user must have an active Riot account.
