Can the Steam Deck Play Valorant?

Absolutely, but it's a bit complicated. Valorant isn't natively supported on Steam since it's a Riot Games title exclusive to their launcher. However, the Steam Deck, being a versatile little beast, can run Windows, allowing you to install the Riot Games launcher and play Valorant that way. Just keep in mind, running Windows might take a bit of technical maneuvering and could impact the device's performance or battery life.

Nope, playing Valorant directly on Steam Deck isn't happening. It's because of the anti-cheat software Valorant uses, which doesn't play nice with SteamOS or Linux in general. Might want to look into other games or ways to play.

I've managed to play Valorant on my Steam Deck by installing Windows on it. It's not exactly what the Steam Deck was made for, but it works. Just be prepared for a bit of a performance hit compared to other games that are directly supported.
