VALORANT Season 2025 Act III: Five Years of Mayhem, Memories, and Major Upgrades

Get ready Agents! VALORANT is throwing a full-blown nostalgia party as Season 2025 // Act III goes live today, and honestly, it’s the perfect way to celebrate five years of clutch plays, salty whiffs, and those iconic “ace” moments we all wish we’d recorded.


This Act’s battlepass is more than just a collection of rewards. It's a heartfelt tribute to our long-time fans, packed with anniversary-themed player cards like the 5 Years: Duelists Card, 5 Years: Cypher’s Revenge Card, and 5 Years: Can’t Slow Me Down Card. If you’ve been with us since 2020, these cards are sure to evoke a wave of nostalgia. Gun Buddies and Sprays are also bringing back memories, with goodies like the animated Balikbayan Box Spray and the adorable Boba Truck Buddy making their debut. It’s all about those little touches that remind you just how far the game your aim has come.
The long-awaited Gifting feature is finally here. Now, you can show your appreciation and strengthen your bonds by gifting bundles or individual items from the Featured Store straight to your friends (or, let’s be real, to that duo partner who always saves your bacon). It’s never been easier to celebrate wins and birthdays or just say, “Thanks for not dodging my ranked queue.” Speaking of duos, Duo’s Day is back with a limited-edition capsule starring the zany Haz and Matt, so go ahead and gift that bundle to your favorite partner-in-crime.

For the skin collectors and style mavens, get ready for a treat. The new Divergence collection is dropping, bringing fantasy and otherworldly vibes to your arsenal. This collection is not just about looks, it's about making a statement. Expect fresh looks for the Vandal, Classic, Judge, Operator, and a Staff melee that’s basically begging for highlight reels.
Act III also comes with a competitive shakeup: Fracture is out, Sunset is in, and a soft ranked reset means it’s time to grind those placements all over again. A soft reset means your previous rank will still influence your new placement, so you won't be starting from scratch. Plus, don’t forget... Your ranked gun buddy for the season will be awarded based on your highest rank across all three acts, so keep pushing!
Whether you’re here for the anniversary throwbacks, the new gifting system, or just to flex some shiny new skins, Season 2025 // Act III is serving up a little something for everyone. Log in, squad up, and let’s make some more memories... Here’s to five years of VALORANT and many more to come!
