Perfect aim meets abilities built to break the plan.
VALORANT is a free fps game released under Free to Play. It runs on Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, needs about 30.0 GB of disk space, and requires no account, payment or trial. On a computer, the fastest route is the PlayBound Launcher. On a phone or tablet, use the official store or site instead.
Choose how to install
Install with PlayBound or download from the official source without the launcher.
Install the PlayBound Launcher, then find VALORANT and press Install. The launcher downloads the official release, unpacks it and creates a shortcut. This is the fastest route and it never uses third-party mirrors.
Alternatively, download VALORANT directly from the official site at https://playvalorant.com. Always download from the official source — third-party mirrors of free games are a common malware vector.
Windows
Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unrecognised publisher, that is normal for open-source projects without a paid code-signing certificate — choose More info, then Run anyway.
Launch the game and look at the settings menu before your first session — resolution and control defaults are worth checking. VALORANT needs roughly 30.0 GB of free disk space.
