SuperData has shared its monthly report, stating that Valorant had the biggest launch ever for a free-to-play game on the PC. According to the company, the game’s revenue and player numbers put it ahead of what the PC version of Apex Legends achieved in February 2019.
Valorant also made more than its closest competitor, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in June despite the Valve title having a slightly larger audience. CS:GO user numbers and revenue were also down for the second straight month in June. This could indicate that Valorant is siphoning away players.
Now we should note that Apex Legends did earn more overall at launch due to its console version. So yeah, that multi-platform release actually paid off.
