Gameplay and UI tailored for Mobile
VALORANT Mobile trailer shows similar gameplay to other FPS mobile games like Call of Duty, PUBG and more.
It will be very easy for players to adapt to this game and won’t have too many problems with the aiming and gameplay.
The customisable UI ensures a personalized experience, which is essential in mobile gaming. While some elements, such as Phoenix’s Blaze, differ cosmetically from the PC version, the essential tactical experience remains unchanged.
The trailer did not confirm the Regen Shield’s participation, so several features are questionable.
