Over the last couple of years, computer owners have looked on in horror as the size of games have grown exponentially. Some – we’re looking at you, Call of Duty – even require an entire SSD’s worth of space. Luckily for you, the very respectable Valorant download size means it isn’t a drive hog.
If you’re looking to get into the tactical shooter, chances are you can download Valorant and have it slot alongside other games, like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends, with relative ease.
And while, of course, the Valorant download size changes with every update, Riot Games is good at keeping it at a fairly decent size. Just like the League of Legends download size, it’s one of the smallest out there in the competitive FPS games genre, so you can play it on pretty much anything – including laptops. So here’s everything you need to know about the Valorant download size and the game’s minimum specs.
