Valorant's popularity has reached new heights over the years, and its popularity is constantly increasing by the day. The game celebrated its second anniversary last month, and since its launch in June 2020, Riot Games' shooter has consistently attracted players.

The game's unique theme is a combination of Agents' abilities and tactical shooting, which has been a prime reason behind its popularity. Users can experience both MOBA and tactical shooting simultaneously, which is one of the critical reasons behind Valorant's success.
