Valorant Steel motion

Valorant is a free-to-play, 5v5 character-based tactical first-person shooter (FPS) developed and published by Riot Games. Released on June 2, 2020, for Windows, it has since expanded to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in June 2024, though crossplay between PC and consoles is not supported. The game blends precise gunplay with unique agent abilities, drawing inspiration from tactical shooters like Counter-Strike and hero-based games like Overwatch.
In Valorant’s main mode, two teams of five players compete over rounds—attackers aim to plant a bomb (called the Spike) at a site, while defenders try to prevent or defuse it. Matches are won by the first team to secure 13 rounds. Each player selects an "Agent," a character with distinct abilities categorized into four roles: Duelists (offensive), Initiators (intel-gathering), Controllers (area control), and Sentinels (defensive support). Abilities, alongside weapons purchased with in-game currency, shape strategic gameplay. Other modes like Spike Rush, Deathmatch, and Escalation offer faster or varied experiences.
The game emphasizes accessibility, running on modest hardware, and features a robust anti-cheat system called Vanguard. Its competitive scene has grown globally, supported by regular updates, new Agents, maps, and a thriving esports ecosystem. Today, March 15, 2025, Valorant remains a dynamic title with an evolving meta—recent patches like 10.04 have tweaked Agents like Clove and adjusted map rotations, reflecting ongoing balance efforts.
