On Tuesday, Riot Games unveiled â
GO OFF,â the music video and
anthem for the 2025 VALORANT Game Changers Championship, performed by famous global girl group
KATSEYE. The track is a reimagined version of their song
âM.I.A - VALORANT Game Changers Version,â released alongside a cinematic video across all platforms. According to the press release, the intention is to translate into music the energy, confidence, and persistence that define the
Game Changers ecosystem.
For KATSEYE, the connection was straightforward. Megan Skiendiel explains that the song already speaks about presenting âthe best version of yourself,â a message that aligns closely with Game Changers and with players striving to establish themselves in the competitive scene. On Riotâs side, lead music supervisor Jonny Altepeter notes that the groupâs dynamism and playful attitude made the partnership feel genuine rather than purely promotional.
KATSEYE, for their part, did not emerge from a traditional TV talent show but from the international
The Dream Academy program launched by HYBE and Geffen in
2023, which selected the six members from 120,000 applicants before chronicling their training in the Netflix series
KATSEYE: Pop Star Academy. The group has since been presented as
âthe first global girl group formed using K-pop artist development methodologies,â which explains both their performance standards and their ability to adapt to an international gaming universe.
