Valorant is currently a closed beta game. It means that in order to get into the Valorant game you would require a Valorant Beta key.
No, you cannot simply sign up on a website to receive the Valorant beta key. There are a few steps involved that require both time and patience before getting access to Valorant, the latest sensation in the world of gaming.
This article will take you through this most sought after question and a few other pieces of Valorant news.
How to get a Valorant beta key?
As previously mentioned, acquiring Valorant beta key isn't simple. A better approach to grab the key is to let it come to you instead of you chasing it around.
Here is how it can be done.
1) You will need an official Riot Games account.
2) If you do not have a Twitch account yet, sign-up for one as well. We suggest you to also download the Twitch app on your Android or iOS devices for easier access.
3) Link your Riot Games account to your Twitch account.
Good work! You can go ahead and get yourself a cup of coffee or a can of coke because the next part is going to be slightly more time-consuming.
4) In the Twitch search bar look for 'Valorant'. There is no need to directly type 'Valorant Beta key' in the search bar since that may only complicate things rather than help.
5) You will now be presented with a screen with tons of streamers who are currently streaming Valorant.
No, this isn't all about Valorant's Beta key. They aren't just going to hand the key over to you, so hold your horses lads!
6) Look for streams that have 'DROPS ENABLED' in their title.
7) Watch the streams and keep an eye out for Valorant beta key drops.
Riot Games explained that viewers who have more watch time (higher than two hours) have a higher chance of getting an invite. As of now, this is the only possibe way to get your hands on Valorant beta keys.
The selection process, however, is random. You may find folks with much less watch time than you getting access keys and hopping into a game. Moreover, only certain regions are currently invited to be a part of Valorant closed beta as mentioned in their blog post:
For now, space is limited to players in Europe, Canada, United States, Turkey, Russia and CIS countries. The plan is to roll out to more regions, if possible, pending the volatile logistics of launching a beta effectively during a global pandemic.

Will Valorant be on Console?
Controllers have never been an ideal choice for gaming when it comes to tactical games like Valorant, and there is no official news on whether we are going to see Valorant on Console.
If you have been around the gaming scene for long enough, you'd know of the cold war that goes on between 'Console' and 'PC' players. Each group complains about the other one being too over-powering. Many PC players have switched to Valorant due to the game feeling fresh and free of cross-platform as of now.
Riot Games sure have a challenging decision to make when it comes to this.
