Can I play Valorant without Secure Boot?
Yeah, you can totally play Valorant without Secure Boot enabled. Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat system does prefer it if you have Secure Boot and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) enabled for added security, but it's not a hard requirement to run the game. Just make sure your system meets the other specs needed for Valorant!

Nope, Secure Boot isn't a dealbreaker for Valorant. But let me tell you, the game might nudge you about enabling it and TPM for a smoother experience, considering it's all about keeping things on the up and up security-wise.
Honestly, just enable Secure Boot if you can. Why? Because although you CAN play Valorant without it, having it on just makes your system a bit more secure and might save you from some possible Vanguard side-eye.
