Datamine suggests Valorant could be coming to Switch

Based on a new datamine, Valorant could be appearing on Switch in the future.

PC_Focus passed along the discovery that there are references in the game’s code for new platforms, and Nintendo’s console is among them. Switch can be found as a line for one of the supported consoles. That’s not a confirmation of any sort, but it’s certainly a strong sign of things to come.

For those that haven’t heard about the game previously, Valorant is a free-to-play first-person tactical hero shooter. Riot Games released it in 2020, but only on PC.

Here’s some information about it:

Blend your style and experience on a global, competitive stage. Attack and defend your side using sharp gunplay and tactical abilities. And, with one life per-round, you’ll have to think faster than your opponent if you want to survive.

More than guns and bullets, you’ll choose an Agent armed with adaptive, swift, and lethal abilities that create opportunities to let your gunplay shine. Each map is purpose-built for team strategies, spectacular plays, and clutch moments. Make the plays others will imitate for years to come.

If we do happen to hear something officially about a Switch version of Valorant, we’ll be sure to let you know.
