Can I get Valorant on Steam?

No, Valorant is not available to download on Steam. Riot Games has a bespoke client where all of its games can be accessed.

Using the Riot Client, you can access every live service game that the developer runs, including League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and the popular card game, Legends of Runeterra.

Here’s how to add Valorant to your Steam library:

  • Launch Steam
  • Click the ‘Add a Game’ button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
  • Click on ‘Add a Non-Steam Game’ button.
  • Find the Riot client in your files and click ‘Add’.

Now that you know at least how to add the Riot client to your Steam library, there isn’t anything stopping you from getting stuck in. We have a list of every Valorant skin here so you can look fancy on the battlefield, and the Valorant system requirements so you know whether your PC can run the FPS game. If you’re after something a little different, we also have a list of the best free Steam games here.

PK's extensive knowledge of video games is matched only by his extensive wardrobe of flannel shirts, which he has been curating since he was born, proving he was always meant to be a games journalist. He watches an episode of Star Trek every night before bed, and he loves toast, even though it makes him feel a bit sick. Buttery goodness exacts a heavy toll, one that he's willing to pay.
