How to download Valorant on Steam Deck
You can't directly download Valorant on the Steam Deck because it's not available on Steam or compatible with the SteamOS by default. But, don't lose hope! You can still play it by installing Windows on your Steam Deck. Once you've got Windows running, just download the Valorant client from the official Riot Games website, and you're good to go. Remember, playing Valorant on a non-officially supported device might lead to a less-than-ideal gaming experience, so proceed with caution!

Valorant isn't on Steam, folks. You gotta use the Riot launcher. Switch your Steam Deck to Desktop Mode, grab the Riot Games launcher from their site, install it, and then you can get Valorant. Easy peasy.
Nah, can't do it. Valorant's not on Steam and the Steam Deck's default OS won't play nice with it. Maybe try a different game?
Did it myself! Installed Windows on my Steam Deck and downloaded Valorant straight from Riot. Runs pretty well, but expect some hiccups since it's not officially supported.
You can't download Valorant directly through Steam, because it's not available on the Steam platform. Valorant is offered by Riot Games, which means you'll need to use a workaround. First, boot your Steam Deck into Desktop Mode. Then, download and install the Windows version of the Riot Games launcher from their official website. Once you have Riot's launcher, you can download and install Valorant through it. Just be aware that running it might require some additional tweaks for optimal performance.
