Riot's shooter operates on its own client, meaning players cannot view the exact player count. However, Riot representatives occasionally share this information with the community, and the latest figures are quite impressive.

Peak Monthly Online Player Count for Valorant

As mentioned earlier, Valorant players don't have access to player count statistics like those available for games on the Steam platform. This is why Riot shooter fans eagerly await fresh statistics from the developers. Recently, new figures for Valorant’s monthly online player count were shared online. Executive Producer Anna Donlon revealed that more than 35 million players play Valorant each month. This information was shared by the Valorant News portal on their Twitter account.

Valorant's Release on Gaming Consoles

While an exact number isn't available, a significant increase in new players occurred following Valorant's release on XBOX and PS5 consoles. In early August 2024, Riot Games officially launched Valorant on gaming consoles. Although the precise number of new players is unknown, it is confirmed that within a week, Valorant ranked in the top 10 most popular games on consoles in the U.S. region.
