Valorant Beta Keys

There are no beta keys yet and there never will be VALORANT Beta Keys, so don’t fall for beta key offfers! The way Riot managed their past betas for LoL but also their new games TFT and Legends of Runeterra is to flag accounts directly for the beta – not by providing beta keys.

You still might run into people with access talking about VALORANT beta keys – they just paraphrase. Trust us, there are no VALORANT beta keys!

Valorant Beta Release

The Valorant beta finally has a date, it will release on April 7th, 2020 at 5 am PDT / 8 am EDT / 2 pm CEST.

There was no official announcement for the betas yet. With Valorant releasing (or potentially going into open beta) in Summer 2020, we expect the first public closed beta by May at the latest, but there are rumors for a public beta as early as the beginning of April, specifically April 7th. We would not get too hyped about it, but it is a possibility. If a public beta in early April is happening, we should see it announced by April 3rd.

Valorant Beta Invites

Valorant’s beta invite system will work similar how it did with Legends of Runeterra, Riot’s card game.

There will be VALORANT beta invite drops on Twitch. Connect your Riot Account to your Twitch account like explained in the how-to above. You then have a chance to get into the beta by watching VALORANT streamers starting April 3rd.
