1. Go to the Microsoft Store
If you’re the proud owner of a modern Xbox console, including the Series X/S, you’ll be able to play Valorant without any issues. Unfortunately, Riot Games couldn’t adapt the shooter for older versions, which means you’ll need to purchase a newer generation console.
To begin the download process, open the Microsoft Store on your Xbox console:
- Search for the game: In the search bar, type "Valorant" and press "Search." You’ll see the official game page.
- Download: Click on the "Download" or "Install" button. The game is completely free, so feel free to start the download.
2. Downloading and Installing Valorant on Your Xbox Console
Once the download begins, the game will automatically start downloading to your console. The download size may vary depending on updates and additional files. Make sure your console remains connected to the internet and does not turn off during the download process.
IMPORTANT: Valorant requires a certain amount of memory for installation. Check that you have enough free space on your disk.
3. Create or Log into a Riot Games Account
After installing the game, you will be prompted to log into your Riot Games account or create a new one if you don’t have one yet. This account allows you to save your game progress, customize your profile, and communicate with friends. If you link your existing accounts, you can transfer your skins, sprays, and much more. To learn how to do this, read our detailed guide.
4. Configure Game Settings
Before starting the game, it’s important to adjust settings such as control sensitivity, graphics, and sound. This will allow you to tailor the gameplay to your preferences.
