Valorant is set for an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 on the 29th, and the team has finally pulled back the curtain on the post-patch system requirements.

According to various international reports from the 16th, Riot Games has outlined what hardware you will need to run Valorant following the shift to Unreal Engine 5. The minimum specs call for at least an Intel i3-540 or AMD Athlon 200GE CPU, paired with an Intel HD 4000 or AMD Radeon R5 200 series graphics card, and 1GB of RAM.

As for the recommended settings, you are looking at an Intel i3-4150 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU, a GeForce GT 730 or Radeon R7 240, and 2GB of RAM. If you want to push for peak performance, the developer suggests an Intel i5-9400F or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, coupled with a GTX 1050 Ti, Radeon R7 370, or Intel Arc A310, along with 4GB or more of RAM.

Despite the leap to a more modern engine, the system requirements remain surprisingly modest, showing little deviation from the current build. Presently, the minimum requirements sit at an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 or AMD Athlon 200GE, with graphics hardware on par with an Intel HD 4000 or Radeon R5 200. The recommended specs are identical to the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 requirements, and the high-performance tier is also largely unchanged, save for the addition of the Intel Arc A310.

The news of the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade first broke back in June via the official Valorant YouTube channel. Andy Ho, the Executive Producer of Valorant, noted at the time that while the general feel will remain largely consistent, players can expect improvements in frame rates and download speeds.
