Riot is Boosting VALORANT Point Prices

Boost Your VALORANT Skin Collection Before Riot's Price Changes Hit

Big news for VALORANT players: Riot Games is shaking things up by changing the price of VALORANT Points (VP) for the first time since the game’s 2020 launch. Whether you’re into rocking that sleek Ion Sheriff or showing off your Reaver Vandal, this update could impact how much you’ll need to spend to snag those sweet cosmetics. Let’s break down what’s changing, where it’s happening, and what this means for you, with an extra focus on boosting your cosmetics collection.

When Will the VALORANT Point Prices Change?

Mark your calendars! The new VP prices roll out on September 18, 2024. If you’ve been eyeing a skin, you’ve got until then to grab it at the current rate. We’re not sure exactly when the update will hit—there might be some server downtime depending on where you play—but expect it around mid-September. If these changes hit live servers with the start of the new Act you still have a lot of time to guarantee you end on your best rank, and get some VP with lower prices.

Which Regions Are Affected by the VP Price Changes?

This update isn’t hitting everyone the same way. If you’re in the Americas (except Canada and the US), the Pacific, or EMEA regions, these price changes are coming your way. Countries like Brazil, Chile, and Colombia in the Americas, as well as India, Japan, Korea, and several European countries, will notice the change. But good news for China, the US, and Canada—you’re in the clear this time!

Here’s a quick rundown of the regions set for changes:

• Americas: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and other Latin American countries with USD prices
• Pacific: India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines
• EMEA: Czech Republic, Hungary, Norway, and Poland

If you’re from one of these areas, get ready to see some boosts in price—or, in a few lucky cases, a decrease.

How Much Will VALORANT Point Prices Change?

Now, let’s get to the numbers. Some regions will see a noticeable hike, while others are actually getting a bit of relief. Here’s the scoop:

Price Increases: Japan (+20%), Chile (+22%), and Malaysia (+16%) will experience the sharpest increases. So if you’re in one of these regions, now might be the best time to load up on VP before the prices shoot up. Price Drops: On the flip side, India (-6%), Poland (-6%), and the Czech Republic (-9%) are seeing prices drop. So if you're from these regions, you can sit back and relax while you wait for the savings!

Here’s a snapshot of the changes by country:

• Brazil: +14%
• Chile: +22%
• Colombia: +6%
• India: -6%
• Japan: +20%
• Korea: +14%
• Malaysia: +16%
• Philippines: +7%
• Czech Republic: -9%
• Hungary: +11%
• Norway: +12%
• Poland: -6%

How Will Riot Handle the Transition?

According to leaks from VALORANT insiders, Riot’s planning to ease players into these changes by offering bonus VP before the price hike takes full effect. For example, the 2050 VP bundle (usually 1900 VP + 150 bonus VP) might give you an extra boost, totaling 2200 VP during this transition period. While Riot hasn’t officially confirmed this, the sources have been pretty reliable in the past, so keep an eye out for any official announcements.

What This Means for You

If your region is facing a price increase, now’s the time to boost your VP stash and lock in your favorite skins before the prices climb. On the other hand, if you’re one of the lucky ones seeing a decrease, you might want to hold off for a bit and take advantage of the drop. Either way, these price changes could shake up your spending strategy in VALORANT.

Ultimately, Riot’s making moves to keep things balanced globally, but these price tweaks might change how you approach in-game purchases. Whether you’re a skin collector or just looking to boost your favorite weapon with the coolest cosmetics, now’s the time to plan ahead. Stay tuned for more updates and make sure your VP collection is ready for whatever changes Riot throws your way!
