Valorant is still one of the free-to-play first-person tactical hero shooter titles by Riot Games that has been available for Windows only. Initially, it was teased under the codename Project A and then the closed beta program started. It offers a 5v5 character-based gameplay where precise gunplay takes a huge role with unique agent abilities. Recently, Riot Games has done some changes in system requirements to run Valorant which eventually causes Valorant VAN9005 Error on the PC.
Well, the issue isn’t older and started on 10th July 2023, where your Windows 10 system won’t be able to run Valorant if the VBS (Virtualization-based Security) setting doesn’t meet the requirements. This specific issue mostly happens in Windows 10 machines. Now, if you’re also facing the same kind of issue on your Win10 computer due to the lack of settings with VBS then don’t worry.
