Valorant has been garnering attention as predicted, but Riot has taken community interest to new heights with its beta key distribution policy during livestreams. Instead of randomly dropping keys, Riot decided to give the opportunity to play Valorant to those genuinely interested in the game during livestreams. This policy is not only fair to true fans of the game but also boosts Valorant livestreams on Twitch with massive viewership.
For this reason, Valorant quickly became a phenomenon on the Twitch TV streaming platform. Gamers from all around the world flocked here with the hope of getting a beta key to experience the game early. Riot Games took notice of Valorant's popularity on this platform and rewarded those who spent hours watching livestreams with a meaningful gift.
Specifically, any gamer who has registered on Twitch TV and reached the 2-hour milestone of watching Valorant will have the chance to receive a limited edition Brimstone character skin with the Twitch TV logo on the chest. This may be a small reward, but it holds great significance for gamers.
'Thank you for all your interest in the Valorant Closed Beta version and for always following the game on Twitch. We have a small gift for everyone to appreciate your contributions,' shared the community manager on Twitter. 'Whether you own a beta key or not, this gift will still be given to everyone when the game launches.'
To receive this gift, players will need to follow these steps:
- Step 1: Register a Riot account here
- Step 2: Link the Riot account to the Twitch account here
- Step 3: Follow Valorant streams with the 'Drops Enabled' sign from streamers on Twitch here
- Step 4: Reach a minimum 2-hour watch threshold for a chance to receive the gift.
- Step 5: Wait for an email or notification from Riot Games or Twitch to claim the gift.
In a related development, the Closed Beta version will not only stop at North America but will soon expand to other regions such as Latin America, South Korea, and Brazil. For Vietnam, gamers will have to continue waiting for some more time before they can experience this promising FPS game.
