Valorant continues to bring in millions of players regularly thanks to consistent updates, and meta changes that shake up where Agents fall in the meta. We’ve got the lowdown on the current player count for the FPS right here.

Riot Games’ hero shooter that rivals Counter-Strike 2 and Overwatch brings in more players every day and it’s continued to keep up that momentum since it launched in 2020.

While there’s no definitive answer to how many people are playing, as the developers have yet to share the true player count, we can estimate its popularity below.

Valorant player count

According to Valorant’s Studio Head Anna Donlan, the game has over 35 million monthly active players as of October 2024.

This figure incorporates players on PC and consoles as well. Based on the data, we can assume more than half the total player base is on PC, but the console audience still maintains more than a third of the game’s total community.

According to Tracker Network, Valorant has an estimated total of over 21.3 million active players on PC as of October 2024.

While this is a drop compared to the over 24 million that jumped into the game on PC throughout August, Valorant has steadily maintained over 20 million players since July 2024. You can see a visual breakdown of its monthly active count for 2024 so far in the chart below.

According to an October 2023 article by Bloomberg, Riot Games previously recorded 28 million monthly players, with 70% of the players being Gen Z.

While these numbers are just an estimate, with the data being taken from several players tracked by Tracker Network, these are seriously impressive digits for Valorant, especially since it’s now well into its fourth year.

The future of Valorant

Based on the numbers from Donlan, Valorant shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Riot Games has proven its ability to produce and support its games reliably, with the tactical FPS shooter genre standing the test of time.

With the FPS now being available on console too, it’s seen another influx of players that will continue to grow in the future.

As the Valorant Esport grows, major influencers like Shroud continue to support the FPS. There’s no reason that big esports and casual fans alike shouldn’t have it on their radar of top live service games in 2024.

We’ll keep updating this page as numbers change throughout the year, so stay tuned to see how your favorite tactical FPS stacks up against the competition!
