Gaming can be pretty costly over time, with many titles coming out each year, they can range in price.
For some players, it's not feasible to buy the newest games as they release.
This is where free to play games are a great alternative.

Is Valorant Free?
Riot's first-person shooter Valorant has seen great success since launching.
One of the reasons for this could be due to the fact that players can fight it out for free!
So far the title is only available on PC so if you're interested, why not give it a go?
Although Valotant is free, there are some features that are not.
Microtransactions
The game contains microtransactions, like many other free to play titles.
This is usually the way that the developers make their money back whilst giving players the ability to play free of charge.
In terms of microtransactions, they include aspects like characters, skins and more.
Some players may find it a tad frustrating to have to unlock characters but this is how Riot is able to offer the title for free.
None of the microtransactions will affect the way the game plays, aside from being able to play a different character.
