How many Valorant keys will drop on April 7? Many fans are eager to ind out if they will receive access to the closed beta of Riot Games' new FPS, which went live Tuesday. Here's how to find out your chances of being a lucky one.
How Many Valorant Keys Will Drop on April 7?
According to early information from Riot Games, 75,000 Twitch viewers will be rewarded with Valorant "keys" that allow them to access the Valorant beta.
With Valorant set to make its official debut later in 2020, depending on the feedback Riot Games gets from the beta, players have an opportunity to get access to the beta through whitelisted Riot Games accounts.
In order to get access to Valorant, players first need to link their Riot Games account to their Twitch account. Doing so will allow them to potentially get a drop while watching one of several eligible streamers on Twitch, including Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag and Michael "Imaqtpie" Santana.
Once linked, players may receive a notification in their Twitch dashboard notifying them that they have been given access to Valorant and prompting them to download the game and start playing. But, only players from Canada, the United States, Turkey, and Europe can gain access to the beta, so if you're not in one of those countries, you'll be unable to play Valorant, even if you earn a drop.
After the drops on April 7, 100,000 players will have access to the beta through Twitch drops, with the first 25,000 players receiving drops on April 3 when streamers were allowed to showcase their recorded playtest footage.
Riot Games has also announced that they plan to release the beta in greater amounts once the company feels that the Valorant servers can handle the increased capacity.
