Valorant Patch 9.08: What’s Changing?

Patch 9.08 brings some exciting changes, including an updated competitive map pool. If you’re looking to boost your rank, it’s important to stay ahead of the map rotations. The following maps will be available for ranked matches after the update:

  • Abyss
  • Ascent
  • Bind
  • Haven
  • Pearl
  • Split
  • Sunset

However, Riot will temporarily remove these maps from the competitive pool.

  • Lotus
  • Icebox
  • Breeze
  • Fracture

Adjusting to these map changes will be key for boosting your performance in competitive play. If you've been practicing on the removed maps, now is a good time to shift your focus to the updated pool.

What Else is New in Patch 9.08?

Patch 9.08 isn’t just about map rotations. A new skin bundle, the Doombringer collection, will also be introduced. The bundle includes skins for the Phantom, Odin, Judge, Sheriff, and a hammer melee weapon. Whether you’re looking to deck out your favorite guns or just try out something new, this bundle adds some flair to your loadout.
