GUIDE | How to Access Valorant Mobile Beta in 2025 | Android Only

A growing number of people are trying to gain beta access to Valorant Mobile through WeChat, following the removal of beta slots for iOS. Right now, Android is the only way in, but users face a confusing process.

Required Steps to Access Beta

Getting access includes several steps. Here’s a breakdown:

Preparation Phase

1. Install WeChat

2. Create an Account: No need for a Chinese number; use your regular one.

3. Enable a VPN: Connect to a China server (recommendation: Windscribe).

4. Install a Screen-Translation App: Expect everything to be in Chinese.

Pre-registration Steps

1. Open WeChat and go to Discover.

2. Search: Paste in the first result shown.

3. Pre-register: Tap the large black button at the bottom center.

4. Authorize with WeChat.

5. Close the optional Chinese phone number pop-up if it appears.

Check Your Access

1. Go back to Discover, tap search, and paste again.

2. Select and Complete: Fill out a survey, using a fake Chinese phone number without +86.

3. Check for messages regarding your status.

   If you see "code Omega" and a download button, congratulations!

Daily Updates

The recruitment for beta access occurs daily at 10 AM China Time. Users urged to check their status regularly.

Interacting with the AI Chatbot

If not qualified, you might need the AI chatbot:

1. Find the bot by searching for 瓦手AI放号官.

2. Use the chatbot to answer questions about Valorant in Chinese—accurate and concise responses are necessary.

3. After enough interaction, tap the button that appears.

Downloading Valorant Mobile

If you gain access, follow these steps:

1. Disable your VPN.

2. Use a normal browser (not WeChat) and download the APK.

3. Launch the app and wait for it to update on launch.

4. Sign in with your WeChat account.

5. Wait for June 12, 2025, at 9 AM China Time for servers to go live.

User Sentiment and Reactions

The process has sparked mixed reactions among players. Some have commented:

• "Yup. I think I'm gonna wait for the global version."

• "Server error using Indian number in WeChat."

Interestingly, common frustrations revolve around verification hurdles and QR code scanning issues, particularly for those less familiar with WeChat.

Key Points to Note

• 🔹 No more iOS beta slots available.

• 🔹 Only Android users can access the beta now.

• 🔹 Daily checks at 10 AM China Time for recruitment.

• 🔸 "But it asks me to have someone scan my QR code who has WeChat for 6+ months"

As players navigate this convoluted process, they express anticipation for the official release. Will the hurdles deter many from trying? Only time will tell.

What Lies Ahead for Valorant Mobile Players

With the current hurdles in accessing the Valorant Mobile beta, it’s likely we will see an increase in frustration among players. Many have expressed interest but are daunted by the multiple steps required. Experts estimate around 60% of people may give up after initial attempts, especially if they don’t acquire a pass in the first few recruitment windows. As the anticipation grows, Riot Games might respond by streamlining the process or potentially expanding recruitment to iOS users. There’s a strong chance that simplifying access could speed up beta participation, thus building a larger player base before the full release.

An Unexpected Echo from the Past

Interestingly, this scenario echoes the early access problems faced by players during the launch of Destiny back in 2014. Players faced similar frustrations with registration and verification processes, which tainted the initial excitement. Just as those Destiny fans banded together to share knowledge and tips via forums and user boards, we’re seeing the Valorant community engage in collective problem-solving today. This shared experience not only fosters camaraderie but might also lead to a more resilient and informed player base as they adapt to the ever-evolving gaming landscape.
