As we reported earlier, certain streamers and Esports professionals have been given early access to the beta. By watching their streams, beta keys can drop randomly - you'll get a notification in Twitch and a mail from Riot Games. Until recently, you had to go through the Valorant streams on Twitch and if Valorant drops were enabled. Usually, these were the streams of well-known streamers or esports professionals.Now it was announced on Twitter that from now on every Twitch user who streams Valorant can activate drops in their channel:
Hey streamers, the @PlayVALORANT has heard you. Drops are now available to streamers of all sizes. You can enable them in your Twitch console.-Click Drops-Create a Drops Campaign. -Click Enable CampaignViewers now get notifications that Drops are available.

If you still need a beta key, make sure to link your Riot ID to your Twitch channel. You now have a much wider choice when it comes to the streams. However, the number of keys that will be redistributed remains the same. It's only the number of streams that increases, so people won't be forced to watch only the top streamers. This is fair as it boosted the already successful ones and left many of the smaller streamers without viewership.
Riot has now confirmed that ALL Twitch streamer playing VALORANT can now drop Closed Beta access. The amount of access drops are the same, but now you can watch any stream you want for a chance at access.
