How big is VALORANT? – PC, PS5, and Xbox disk space in 2025

Like any game, VALORANT features a set of minimum hardware requirements in order for players to be able to run the game, including certain capabilities of CPUs and graphics cards. But one question is sometimes more difficult to answer; just how big is VALORANT?

How big is VALORANT on PC?

As time goes on, the capabilities of gaming hardware only increases, while the graphical fidelity improves in parallel. The end result is often immense disk space requirements for new titles, with many AAA games easily breaching 100 GB.

For VALORANT, its more optimised style with cleaner graphics means that a much smaller amount of disk space is generally fine. While Riot’s official website doesn’t list a minimum recommendation, the Riot Client gives a much clearer answer to the question of ‘how many GB is VALORANT’ — it’s 40GB.

That said, 40GB is the recommendation. In reality, for many players their hard drive usage is actually significantly less. As of October 2025, the game’s default folder path (C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live) is showing a size of only 26.1GB for the author of this article. That size may fluctuate over time as updates continue, meaning that each patch can see the game size increase or decrease, usually by unnoticeable amounts.

How big is VALORANT on console?

Similar to those playing the Riot title on PC, console players too may often wonder ‘how many gigs is VALORANT?’ By all accounts, the answers for both PS5, Xbox, and PC players seem largely similar.

Once again, however, the official website for PS5 and Xbox copies of the game fail to list a minimum requirement, meaning players would generally need to check manually within the in-console stores to verify before downloading.

How much GB is VALORANT on PS5?

Currently, the VALORANT file size on PS5 is very similar to that of the PC version. As of October 2025, the Playstation version requires roughly 26.5GB of disk space — marginally larger than on PC.

How many GBs is VALORANT on Xbox?

The Xbox version is also larger than the PC ‘original’, though by a slightly more significant amount. At the time of writing, VALORANT on Xbox takes up around 28GB of disk space, almost an entire 2GB more than that of the PC install.
