Riot Games’Valorant, with its unique blend of tactical FPS gameplay and hero-based abilities, has amassed a dedicated following across PC and, more recently, console platforms. But as the game continues its expansion to new platforms, it seems that mobile players are getting some exclusive features that are leaving their PC and console counterparts feeling a bit left out.
The latest buzz in the community revolves around a new training mode that has been spotted in the game’s mobile version, which is currently in alpha testing. This feature, which is strikingly similar to the training courses found in other competitive FPS titles likeCounter-Strike 2(CS2), has PC and console players wondering when they’ll get their turn to sharpen their skills.
Jump Peeking 101:Valorant Mobile‘s Training Ground
A recent leak from X user @VALORANTLeaksEN has revealed thatValorant Mobile‘s Alpha Test build now features a full-fledged “Training Mode,” complete with various courses designed to help players master different mechanics of the game. The shared footage showcases a specific training course focused on jump peeking—a crucial skill for spotting enemies around corners before re-peeking and eliminating them:

This addition is certainly a welcome one for mobile gamers, as it gives players a dedicated space to hone their skills and practice advanced techniques without the pressure of live matches. On the flipside though, it’s a feature that has been notably absent from the PC and console versions of the game, leaving some players feeling a bit neglected.

As one frustrated player put it:
Who asked for this?Stuff like this slowly turns away serious players and kills games. Console, now mobile, meanwhile you neglect the core player base. Seems like Valorant is forgetting what brought them success in the first place and turning this game into a meme of itself.
It’s clear that some longtime members of the community feel thatRiot Gamesisprioritizing the mobile version over the existingPC and console player base.
The fact that this isn’t in pc but instead mobile is hilarious but sad at the same time
The fact that such a feature is being introduced in the Alpha stage of the mobile version while being absent from the other platforms has left some scratching their heads.
Replay System: Another Mobile Exclusive?
The training mode isn’t the only feature that has PC and console players feeling a bit envious, though.ValorantMobilehas also recently introduced a replay system, similar to the one found inCS2, that allows players to review their matches and analyze their gameplay:

This featurehas been one of the most requested additionstoValorantsince its launch, but PC players have been left waiting for years without any sign of its implementation. The fact that the mobile version is already testing this feature in its Alpha stage has only added fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile ranked is so bad and they are doing nothing to fix it.
Some players are concerned that the developers are neglecting pressing issues in the PC and console versions of the game—such as the state of ranked play—in favor of developing new features for the mobile platform.

While it’s understandable that Riot Games wants to make a splash in the competitive mobile FPS market, as it has for PC and console, it’s important not to alienate the existing player base in the process. The hope is that these features will eventually make their way to the existing platforms, but for now, mobile players seem to be getting the royal treatment.
AsValorant Mobilecontinues its development and more leaks surface, it will be interesting to see how Riot Games balances the needs of its diverse player base across multiple platforms. Will the mobile version continue to outshine its PC and console counterparts in terms of QoL features, or will Riot find a way to bring parity to theValorantexperience? Only time will tell.
