Since most of the big games these days require a lot of space, you might be wondering if your disk has enough storage or not for Valorant.
So without further ado, let us see how much space does Valorant take to function properly.
To install Valorant, you will need to download the Riot Game Client file from Valorant’s official website. The client installation file is65.9 MBin size.
Once you download and install the Riot Client on your PC before you launch it and download Valorant, the Riot Client takes up378 MBafter it is completely installed.
After you launch the Riot Client, it will start downloading the Valorant files, such as the texture files and the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat software.
The whole game, after the complete install will take24.5 GB(26,398,650,368 bytes)on your PC as of the game’sEpisode 4: Act 3.
Additionally, the Riot Vanguard will take up36.7 MB (38,486,016 bytes)of your storage. You cannot skip installing Riot Vanguard, as the game will not run without its anti-cheat software.
Hence, in the end, downloading and installing the latest version of the game duringEpisode 4: Act 3takes up a total of24.869 GBof your total storage.
