If too many players try to download the patch at the same time when it’s first released, it may cause players to experience slow download speeds. Though you’ll need to troubleshoot your home network to get to the bottom of your slow download speeds, there’s a chance that it may also be caused by VALORANT’s servers. If you have friends waiting for you to join their party so you can play the first game of the patch together, for instance, you’ll want to find a way to speed up your VALORANT update downloads. Even if your internet is rather fast, you may still experience slow download speeds that increase the time it takes to install the latest patches. The size of VALORANT patches usually increases during events or in a new season.


Though you’ll only need a few minutes to download small hotfixes, it may take a lot longer to download huge updates filled with new content. Whenever a new VALORANT patch drops, players want to download it as soon as possible to get a taste of the latest Riot Games has to offer.
