Valorant Mobile is finally available to try, although for now it is still limited to the China region. Because of this, players outside of China need a few extra steps to download and play the game. If you want to try it on your device, here is a full guide for both Android and iOS.
How to Download Valorant Mobile on Android
If you are using an Android phone, first go to the Google Play Store and download WeChat. This app is required because registration for the game is only possible through a WeChat account.
Once the app is installed, create an account by entering your name, phone number, and password. After that you need to verify the account. Some users will receive a verification code by SMS. If you do, just use the code to verify. If you don’t receive any code, you will need a Chinese ID to complete the verification process.
After the account is verified, copy the registration link shared in the community or Discord and paste it into WeChat. From there you will be able to download the Valorant Mobile APK file.
Since the game is only available in China, you also need a VPN to log in. One option that works well is Gear Booster, which helps provide a more stable connection.
- Download WeChat from the Google Play Store.
- Create an account with your name, phone number, and password.
- Verify your account using SMS code or a Chinese ID.
- Use the registration link inside WeChat to download the Valorant Mobile APK.
- Connect with a VPN such as Gear Booster before playing.
How to Download Valorant Mobile on iOS
For iPhone or iPad users the method is a little different. Start by opening the App Store and tapping the profile icon in the top right corner. Go to your account settings and then select the option for country or region.
Change it to China Mainland. You will have to enter a Chinese address and phone number, but it does not need to be real, just type in any random details to continue.
Once the region is changed, go back to the App Store and search for Valorant Mobile. The game should be available to download like any other app, as long as the date is after August 19, 2025. Just like on Android, you will also need a VPN such as Gear Booster to actually connect and play.
- Open the App Store and go to your account settings.
- Change your country or region to China Mainland.
- Enter a random Chinese address and phone number.
- Search for Valorant Mobile in the Chinese App Store and download it.
- Use a VPN like Gear Booster before launching the game.
That is the complete guide to downloading and playing Valorant Mobile on both Android and iOS. The process is a bit complicated because the release is still limited to China, but with the steps above you can try the game early. Always remember to use a VPN before opening the app to avoid connection issues. If you have been waiting to experience Valorant on mobile, this is the best way to jump in and test the game for yourself.
