Can Valorant mobile and PC players play together? Can Valorant mobile and PC versions be interconnected?

Currently, Valorant's mobile and PC versions are two completely different content systems. The difficulty of getting started with the PC version is noticeably higher; in the PC gaming environment, there are almost no additional assistive functions, such as auto-aim, which do not exist in the PC version. Players need to practice techniques like recoil control and quick stops over a long period to become proficient. Moreover, the update speed of heroes in the PC version is faster, bringing new skill mechanisms that keep the game tactics evolving. At the same time, the PC version requires higher computer performance; ordinary configurations may experience lag or frame drops during gameplay, affecting the gaming experience. However, this also indirectly distinguishes the operational skill level among players.

In contrast, the mobile version reduces the overall operational difficulty. It adds some assistive features for shooting and aiming, such as slight automatic aim assistance, making it easier for players to hit targets on their phones. After all, performing high-difficulty operations on a phone screen is much harder compared to using a keyboard and mouse. Thus, the mobile version simplifies the operating system, integrating some complex operations into one-button releases, making it easier for beginners to get started and lowering the entry barrier for the game.

The duration of matches also differs between the two versions. The PC version has longer gameplay times. Although the conditions for determining victory and defeat in terms of rules are the same, involving specific rounds or completion of objectives, the competition among PC players is more intense, and a match typically lasts longer. Considering the fragmented nature of mobile gaming, the mobile version significantly shortens the length of each match, making it highly recommended for those who don't often play FPS games.

Finally, there are changes in content and heroes. There are some differences in the skills of certain heroes, with the mobile version adjusting the way skills are released and their effect ranges to suit mobile operations. Additionally, it is expected that later on, there will be exclusive heroes for both the mobile and PC versions, at which point players will feel a more noticeable difference. In terms of content, the main differences between the two versions probably lie in the stats of some guns, designed to develop gameplay that better fits the rhythm of mobile operations.
