Leak indicates gift system in VALORANT

VALORANT, developed by Riot Games, is close to implementing a long-awaited feature: the gift system. Recent information, which emerged through leaks, indicates that players will be able to send items, such as weapon skins and special packages, to friends.

The possibility of sending gifts between users promises to strengthen the community, facilitating interaction and offering a new way to celebrate achievements and special moments within the game. However, as is common in developments of this type, Riot Games warns that the release date may be adjusted as updates progress.

How the gift system in VALORANT will work

According to available information, the feature will allow players to send a variety of digital items, including weapon skins, player cards and charms. This gift system will be released to console and PC users, expanding the reach of the novelty. Although Riot Games has not yet released all the details, leaks indicate that it will even be possible to send Battle Passes to other players.

It is important to highlight that the system will have limitations: the transfer of VALORANT Points (VP), the game's virtual currency, and Radianite points will not be available. The measure aims to prevent fraud and maintain the security of transactions within the game. For players, this means that gifts will be limited to specific customization items.

Gift System Release Date

Although Riot Games has not yet made the date official, there is speculation that the gift system will be available at the beginning of Episode 10. According to leaks, the release of this episode is scheduled to take place in a few weeks, but the developer reinforces that the implementation of feature depends on technical adjustments and final tests.

With expectations high, the recommendation for players is to follow social media and official VALORANT channels for real-time updates on the arrival of this new function. 

Players who want to gift friends with skins and other VALORANT items already find alternatives, while the gift system is not launched. A simple option is to transfer the corresponding amount through services such as PayPal, allowing the recipient to purchase the desired skin directly.

Another alternative is to purchase prepaid VALORANT Points cards in online stores, such as Amazon. Thus, players can redeem the codes on these cards to convert them into in-game credits. This will allow for a similar gift experience until the new functionality arrives.

Impact of the new feature on the VALORANT community

The introduction of the gift system in VALORANT promises to encourage a culture of sharing and interaction between players. The possibility of sending items and rewarding friends strengthens the sense of community, bringing participants closer and consolidating bonds within the game.

Additionally, the feature comes at a time when Riot Games is looking to expand VALORANT's reach and engage its user base. The gift system could be a valuable tool to expand players' experience, while the company explores ways to reinforce the game's social environment.
