Valorant is dead ?

 Its  have been almost 3 years since valorant has been released and we have started to see its down fall, its not dead or near dead but the impact is visible. Players are leaving the game and trying newly released game like overwatch 2. 

We don't have any data of player base but the people involved in the community are declining. And main reason is not any rival game but is covid. Since the lockdown has ended people have got other things to do and now have less time to spend on games. Most of the casual players played valorant because of its release time, it was just perfect, it released just when the lockdown started resulting in a boom in player base but now as the lockdown is ended they have to see the most down fall in player count. 

Another reason is that already existing games like csgo has made their comeback by releasing great updates which valorant couldn't do, when valorant released csgo was in a bad conditions even valve was also not paying much attention on csgo which was making csgo players angry so as valorant released players started to play that game but now there players are going back to there original game that is csgo. 

Valorant is unable to release and add new in game content like game modes and few agents and maps isn't enough to hold players. But even if all this the game is not dying soon because of its eSports side, valorant has a large amount of eSports audience and players which do not have any other game to play or watch . Riot many focus was always on the competitive side and will always be there. 

And because of this valorant will not die soon even if it losses a large amount of casual player base.
