As the name suggests, Gifting in VALORANT will allow you to send or receive items such as weapon skins, player cards, gun buddies or even the entire bundle. Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, leaks suggest that it will be available on both console and PC.
So, if you have a friend who has been wanting to purchase the Prime Vandal for a long time, it’s the perfect opportunity to surprise them by gifting their favorite skin. We also expect that players will be able to gift Battle Passes but one thing is certain: you won’t be able to gift VALORANT Points (VP) or Radianite points.
We’ll make sure to update this article once we have more details on this topic.
When does the Gifting feature release in VALORANT?
First of all, it’s important to mention that the Gifting feature is still in development which means Riot Games hasn’t promised any concrete date. However, we expect it to come out with the release of Episode 10 which is now just a few weeks away.
Since it’s based on our speculation, we advise taking this info with a pinch of salt and recommend you to keep an eye out on official VALORANT social media handles for the latest update.
Alternative ways to gift VALORANT skins
Thankfully, we’ve figured out a couple of workarounds to help you gift skins in VALORANT:
- Transfer the amount via PayPal
- Use VALORANT’s prepaid vouchers
If your friend uses PayPal, the easiest method is to transfer the amount directly to them with a sweet message indicating it’s for a VALORANT skin gift.
If the above method doesn’t work for you for any reason, then we highly suggest purchasing a VALORANT points gift card from popular marketplaces like Amazon. These cards contain a unique redemption code that can be used to redeem a certain amount of VALORANT points.
