Could it be possible to play Valorant<\/strong>, one of the most popular first-person shooter games, on a Chromebook? Despite ChromeOS being a closed ecosystem that does not officially support it, this article is about to help you scale that hurdle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We hand you all the possible methods and step-by-step processes on how to get Valorant on your Chromebook<\/strong>. But before getting into the How’s,<\/em> let’s start with the big question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is It Possible to Play Valorant on Chromebook OS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is possible to play Valorant on ChromeOS although not natively. You’ll need to install a remote desktop software and use a second computer with Windows. You’ll also need to meet the hardware requirements for playing the game. According to the official Valorant website, the minimum requirements for Valorant<\/a> to run any device are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/th>\nMINIMUM SPECS – 30 FPS<\/th>\nRECOMMENDED SPECS – 60 FPS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
CPU<\/td>\nIntel Core 2 Duo E8400, Athlon 200GE (AMD)<\/td>\nIntel i3-4150, Ryzen 3 1200 (AMD)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
GPU<\/td>\nIntel HD 4000, Radeon R5 200<\/td>\nGeforce GT 730, Radeon R7 240<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
RAM\/VRAM<\/td>\n4GB\/1GB<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Your Chromebook may not have the exact specifications needed, but it’s still worth checking if Valorant can run. Once you have the necessary hardware, you’ll need to set up a gaming environment to start playing the game on your Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two options for this: use Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD) or install Linux and stream-play the game using Parsec. Each of these methods is described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: on Your PC, Navigate to remotedesktop.google.com\/access<\/a> on Chrome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \"Valorant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    2. How to Get Valorant on a Chromebook Using Parsec<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It has the same cons though, you\u2019ll end up with a worse experience depending on your latency and internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
