Valorant fans can now predict match outcomes live on Twitch and win rewards with Riot’s new interactive feature, Shotcall.

Fans watching Valorant matches on Twitch will soon get more than just entertainment; they'll also have a chance to make predictions during live games and earn rewards for their accuracy. Riot Games is launching a new feature called Shotcall, a system designed to bring viewer interaction directly into the match experience.

Riot Games introduced ‘Shotcall’ on August 5, 2025, through its official channels. Shotcall is a Twitch extension that allows viewers to predict specific in-game events during live esports broadcasts. The feature begins rolling out with a test session on August 8, with more sessions scheduled later in the month.

During a match, the system generates questions automatically, which allow users to make predictions such as which team will win, which player will get the first kill, or how many kills a player might score in a round. Viewers can also bet on high-pressure moments like clutch rounds. Points are awarded based on the difficulty of each correct guess, and these points determine a user's place on the leaderboard.

How the Shotcall Beta Works

The beta version of Shotcall is available to anyone watching Valorant on desktop via the official VCT Americas Twitch channel. When a match is live, a red crystal ball icon will appear in the top-left corner of the stream. Clicking the icon installs the Shotcall Twitch extension. Once installed, viewers can begin making predictions at multiple stages throughout the match.

To participate fully, viewers must link their Riot and Twitch accounts. Prediction windows will open automatically at key moments in the game, which will give users several opportunities to make real-time calls.
