Sorry to break it to ya, but Valorant is a Windows-only game. The MacBook Air M1 runs macOS, so it won't natively support Valorant. However, you're not totally out of luck. Some folks use Windows emulation software like Boot Camp (though not supported on M1 Macs yet) or Parallels to run Windows on their Mac. This can let you play Valorant, but keep in mind, it might not be the smoothest experience given the M1's ARM architecture.

Actually, I managed to play Valorant on my MacBook Air M1 using Parallels to simulate Windows. It's a bit of a workaround and not officially supported, but it worked surprisingly well for me!

Nope, Valorant and Macs are like oil and water – they just don't mix. Valorant's only on Windows for now.
