The tactical team-based shooter from Riot Games is a popular name within the PC gaming community. Valorant is certainly deserving of its reputation as the game is a genuinely fun experience for gamers of any background. Compared to CS:GO, it is a lot easier to get into. If you’re looking to get into the action, you’ll probably need to get your PC ready and download it. But, if you’re the type of gamer that typically uses Steam then things are a bit tricky in that regard.

 

 

Is Valorant available to download on the Steam Store?

 

A popular game like Valorant is something that one would naturally expect to pop up on your Steam page even without using the search bar. However, you might be a bit bummed to find out that Valorant is actually not available on the Steam Store page.

 

 

Where to find Valorant

 

Although the game is not available on Steam, at least you’ll take some pleasure in the fact that it is a free game provided by Riot. Sure, it will be nice to have all your games in a single library, but the fact that the game doesn’t demand a lot from you both in terms of specs and access makes the lack of Steam availability a little less painful.

 

Valorant is available on the recently released Riot Games client that acts as a one-stop-shop to all of Riot’s games that have been released so far.

 

 

How to download and install Valorant

 

Valorant is available on the official Riot Games website [https://playvalorant.com/en-gb/]. To get the game, simply click on “Play Now” in the upper right-hand corner of the home page and sign up for an account. If you already have a Riot game account from playing other titles like League of Legends, you’ll simply need to sign in instead.

After signing in to the account, you’ll be able to download the game through a big “download” button. The main file itself is 7GB and doesn’t end up taking a lot of space from your hard drive after installation.

 

The feeling is quite different from using Steam, but it is still convenient enough to use for launching your games.

 

 

Will Valorant be available on Steam?

 

Considering the recent efforts by Riot Games to gain a more mainstream appeal, especially in their home turf of the United States, it’s only a matter of time before they implement the ability to add games like Valorant to Steam.

Steam is a very profitable gaming marketplace that allows a lot of developers to increase their reach and enjoy the conveniences that Steam offers such as secure payments and a good recommendation algorithm.

 

 

When will Valorant be added to Steam?

 

Currently, Riot Games has released no official information regarding the Steam release for Valorant, but it is sure to be coming sooner than later as the game was recently added to the Epic Games Store. It will be no surprise if Valorant is added to Steam in 2022.
