Sukamal Pegu, Publishing Head (South Asia) said: 'Riot Games is highly committed to providing India and rest of the South Asia region with excellent gaming experience. The game also comes with a custom cheat prevention system to prevent hackers from ruining the game for everyone. Due to this very reason, servers or data centres for Valorant players in India will take some time to setup. The game has dedicated 128-tick servers for all players and aims to deliver a latency of 35 ms for most players.

Having said that, servers in India have not yet been set up but will be added in the near future as the game grows in the coming months. The game is round-based similar to Counter-Strike and requires players to buy weapons and abilities after the end of each round. You will need to choose out of six 'Agents' that have a set of unique special abilities similar to Overwatch heroes that can be used in the game for advantage. The game is a 5v5 tactical first-person shooter that works similar to Counter-Strike but also has a twist to the game. The game has been developed and published by Riot Games, the same company behind popular MOBA game League of Legends. The game can be downloaded exclusively from Valorant ’s official website and will be available to play in other regions as well. Valorant, the new PC game targeted towards Counter-Strike and Overwatch players, is finally available to play in India for free.
