Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 is expected to be out soon, with the patch number for the upcoming phase of the game being 7.04. The title will bring some major updates, which could alter how it is played in the foreseeable future. These changes include a new map, the return of an old one, the exit of two maps, as well as several Agent changes.
One of the things that concern Valorant players whenever there is a new update, especially a major one like this, is how big the update will be. This is especially concerning for players working with lower-end PCs. The reason behind this is some players might need to clear up storage space.
Others may be curious to know the size of the update to figure out what the expected download duration might be. That said, this article covers all relevant information.

What will the download size of Valorant's Patch 7.04 be?
The patch size for the upcoming Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 is expected to be around 4-5 GB. This is slightly larger than a regular patch size since it contains major content updates, including a brand-new map.
The new update will overwrite the program from the previous one with new content. Therefore, you should be fine with a few extra gigabytes of space on the drive you install Valorant in. The current file size for Valorant on your drive is approximately 35 GB.
Based on how fast your internet is, downloading a 4-5 GB update should not take very long, either.
