VALORANT launches Shotcall extension for live VCT games

VALORANT’s new Shotcall Twitch.tv extension lets fans make real-time predictions during VCT Americas matches. Check out all the details about the launch.

VALORANT

VALORANT has rolled out Shotcall, a brand-new interactive Twitch.tv extension that brings fans even closer to the action during VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) matches.

Exclusive to desktop users and currently in limited beta, Shotcall gamifies the live viewing experience by letting fans make real-time predictions during key moments in matches — earning points and climbing a live leaderboard in the process.

What is Shotcall?

Shotcall turns match-watching into a competitive experience in itself. As you tune into official VCT Americas Stage 2 broadcasts on Twitch, you’ll have the chance to predict pivotal outcomes — such as the next map winner, crucial rounds, or clutch plays.

Get it right, and you’ll score points. Rack up enough correct calls, and you could find yourself at the top of the leaderboard.

Riot Games has even teased exclusive rewards for top-performing participants during the beta.

How to use Shotcall on Twitch

  • Join a stream: Head to any official VCT Americas Twitch.tv live stream.
  • Activate the extension: Hover over the stream to find the red crystal ball icon in the top-left corner. Click it and log in with your Riot ID.
  • Make predictions: Choose your picks for upcoming moments. Even if the overlay is minimized, your selections will still show over the video.
  • Troubleshooting: If the extension isn’t visible, check your Twitch.tv extension settings on the top-right of the stream and toggle Shotcall to “visible”.

When can you try it?

Shotcall will be tested during four Shotcall Fridays on the VCT Americas broadcast:

  • August 8, 2025
  • August 15, 2025
  • August 22, 2025
  • August 29, 2025

Each Friday offers a chance to win one unique beta reward, with more incentives planned as the feature expands to other regions and languages.

Riot Games encourages fans to share feedback through Twitch chat, social media, and post-match surveys. Shotcall is still under development, and community input will be key to refining the experience before a full rollout.

So if you’re tuning into VCT Americas, don’t just watch—play along, predict like a pro, and climb the leaderboard with Shotcall.
