Valorant is an exciting multiplayer shooter, where players fight in 5v5 teams. However, they don’t just have to destroy each other, they also have to plant the bomb or defuse it. But unlike Counter-Strike, this game has different Heroes with unique abilities that radically change the gameplay. The game takes up a lot of space on the drive, so in this guide, we will tell you how to change the Valorant installation folder.
