VALORANT on Windows: Game and Product Requirements

Riot’s PC requirements and the product’s Cloud DMA prerequisites are separate checks.

Check the game first

If VALORANT displays a Vanguard restriction, use the code in the message to find Riot’s official instructions. The wording of the error tells you which game requirement applies.

Check the product next

The main product is documented for Windows PC. Ask support to confirm the exact Windows release and game build. Use the Cloud DMA requirements to check Hyper-V, virtualization and service dependencies.

Give support the context

Include your Windows version, game build, exact error, and order reference if relevant. State whether the error appears in the regular game or during product setup. Send those details through setup support.
