While it's currently unknown exactly how gameplay will work in Valorant Mobile, we do have some other mobile shooters to look at for some inspiration. Each match is a best of 25 - meaning you need to win 13 rounds in order to win - with the attacking players having to deliver a Spike to one of two sites or wipe the entire enemy team before the 100-second round timer ends. Valorant features a handful of different modes, but its most popular is the standard competitive mode. Within these 15 agents, there are four sub-types - Duelists, Controllers, Initiators, and Sentinels - that help differentiate what these agents are special at. This approach is also more manufacturer-independent where Microsoft's approach is restricted to Samsung and Honor phones.Currently, Valorant has a roster of 15 agents, each with their own special abilities. While app streaming won't replace native apps, it can save precious storage space and spare you from having to jump between devices just to complete certain tasks. However, the functionality might be more useful on Chromebooks. Google is ultimately mirroring the remote Android app access you've had in Windows for years. The Chromebook and handset need to be on the same WiFi network and physically close-by, although you can use the phone as a hotspot through Instant Tethering if necessary. The feature works with "select" phones running Android 13 or newer. Google doesn't describe certain app types as off-limits, although it's safe to say that you won't want to play action games this way. Once Phone Hub is enabled, you can stream apps by either clicking a messaging app notification or browsing the Hub's Recent Apps section after you've opened a given app on your phone. You can quickly check your messages, or track the status of a food order without having to sign in again. After a preview at CES last year, Google has enabled app streaming through Phone Hub in Chrome OS Beta. You won't have to install Android apps on your Chromebook when you need them in a pinch.
