Can you play Valorant with an Xbox controller?
Technically, yes, you CAN play Valorant with an Xbox controller, but it's like trying to eat soup with a fork. Valorant is designed for the precision that only a keyboard and mouse can offer, especially in a competitive setting. You'll be at a serious disadvantage against players using the standard setup. However, for casual play or if you're just looking to have a bit of fun, go for it!

I've tried it, and trust me, it's not pretty. You can hook up your Xbox controller and play, but it feels like you're bringing a knife to a gunfight. Everyone else is on mouse and keyboard, and they have a huge advantage in aiming and reaction time.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but you really shouldn't. Valorant is all about precision aiming, quick reflexes, and strategy that's best executed with a mouse and keyboard. Using an Xbox controller puts you at a major handicap.
Absolutely not recommended. Keyboard and mouse are the way to go for Valorant. Don't handicap yourself with an Xbox controller.
