VALORANT is currently one of the most popular PC games in the world. Created by Riot Games, it has taken the online gaming and esports world by storm. The game is known for its weapon skins and other in-game cosmetics. As most players play on their PC, seeing their VALORANT shop outside their home is impossible. In this article, let us look at how fans can check their VALORANT shop on their phone.

Since the launch of VALORANT on PC, many fans have been asking for a companion app. For example, a game like EA FC (previously known as FIFA) has had a companion app for over ten years. The companion app lets players check their clubs, open packs, and access the in-game store. On the Play Store, many apps currently help players track their stats during VALORANT ranked matches.
Similarly, fans of VALORANT receive an app on their mobile features. An app that allows VALORANT fans to check their shop, the previous match scores, and their night market. There is no official app; one must use third-party apps that use the Riot Games API.
These apps allow fans to check their VALORANT shop to see the skins available to purchase within the game. At the same time, they can check their night market to receive skins at a cheaper price. If players wish to check when the next VALORANT Night Market is and what skins they can receive, they can check it out here.
All the mobile apps to check your VALORANT store are available only on Android. This could be due to how tough it is to publish an app on the Apple store within another game’s API. Another point is that back in June 2023, Riot Games sent various complaints to Apple about all the app developers using the VALORANT API.
Thus, VALORANT fans with Android phones can download the app Vshop. The app isn’t currently available on the Google Play Store, but fans can download it through its APK file. Below is a guide on how fans can download the Vshop app on Android:
- Visit the VShop Releases page.
- Download the latest VShop APK file.
- Open the downloaded APK file and follow the prompts to install it
Currently, no app allows fans to buy skins directly. Instead, they must log onto VALORANT to buy skins within the game. If fans use these services, activating two-factor authentication for their accounts would be better. This would reduce the chances of their accounts being hacked.
Hopefully, with the release of VALORANT Mobile, an official application will be available to check it.
