Regular HEXUS readers will be aware of Windows 11's minimum hardware requirements, and the minor tweaks they have been through despite enthusiast outcry.

More precisely, it has been spotted (by AntiCheatPD via XDA Developers) that 'Valorant has started to enforce both TPM and Secure boot if you are playing on Windows 11 to ensure a trusted platform when playing Valorant.' The AntiCheatPD, goes on to assert that 'Riot Vanguard team yet again leading the anti-cheat industry in the right direction for competitive integrity'. With the above in mind, it appears odd that Valorant, when installed on Windows 11 systems, is being very strict about hardware specs.

The top-tier 'high-specification' PC it recommends for 144Hz gameplay, for example, is a PC with an Intel Core i5-9400F or an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or better, an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti or an AMD Radeon R7 370 or better, plus 4GB of RAM, and a 64-bit OS (Windows 7, 8, 10). If you check out the Valorant PC minimum and recommended specifications pages, you will note that, like many such f2p titles looking for widespread adoption, its demands are rather low.

The game was officially released just over a year ago and is developed and published by Riot Games, also famous for the very popular League of Legends (often referred to as LOL), a free to play MOBA. Valorant is a popular free to play first person hero shooter which majors in 5 vs 5 competitive online multiplayer action.
