Step 1: Adding Valorant to Your Steam Library

  1. Open your Steam client and locate the “Add a non-Steam game” option. This can be found by clicking on the “Games” tab in the top-left corner of the Steam client.

  2. Upon clicking “Add a non-Steam game,” a window will appear. Click on the “Browse” button in this window.

  3. In the browse window, navigate to your Steam directory. Usually, this can be found at the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.

  4. Once inside the Steam directory, locate the folder named “SteamApps” and open it.

  5. Within the “SteamApps” folder, locate and open another folder named “common.”

  6. Scroll down and find the folder labeled “Valorant” or “Riot Games,” depending on the installation directory you chose during the installation process.

  7. Open the “Valorant” or “Riot Games” folder and locate the file named “VALORANT.exe.”

  8. Double-click on “VALORANT.exe” to select it, and then click the “Add selected programs” button in the “Add a non-Steam game” window.

  9. Congratulations! You have successfully added Valorant to your Steam library. You can now find it in your Steam library under the name “VALORANT.”
