How Much Does the Valorant Battle Pass Cost in 2026?
The Valorant Battle Pass costs 1,000 Valorant Points (VP) per Act. Since Acts last roughly 2 months in 2026, you can expect to spend 1,000 VP every 2 months if you want the pass.
Battle Pass Cost in USD
| What you pay for | VP Cost | USD Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Single Battle Pass | 1,000 VP | $9.99 |
| Full year (6 Acts) | 6,000 VP | ~$60 |
| Per Episode (3 Acts) | 3,000 VP | ~$30 |
The cheapest official way to buy exactly 1,000 VP is the 1,000 VP / $9.99 pack on Riot's store. But that is the worst per-VP rate.
How to Get the Battle Pass for Less
Riot's VP packs scale: the bigger you buy, the better the rate per VP. Here is the full Riot pricing as of May 2026:
| VP | Price | Per 1,000 VP |
|---|---|---|
| 475 | $4.99 | $10.50 |
| 1,000 | $9.99 | $9.99 |
| 2,050 | $19.99 | $9.75 |
| 3,650 | $34.99 | $9.59 |
| 5,350 | $49.99 | $9.34 |
| 11,000 | $99.99 | $9.09 |
For maximum savings, buy the 11,000 VP pack — enough for 11 Battle Passes at roughly $9.09 each.
Or skip Riot entirely: SwiftBux delivers 11,000 VP for $24.99 — about $2.27 per 1,000 VP, which is 4x cheaper than Riot's best rate.
What You Get in the 1,000 VP Battle Pass
The premium Battle Pass typically includes:
- 3 themed skin lines (gun skins for the Act)
- Multiple sprays, gun buddies, and player cards
- Radianite Points (used to upgrade skins)
- Bonus VP at the end of the pass (~200-300 VP back, depending on the Act)
So a 1,000 VP pass effectively costs ~700-800 VP if you complete it.
Is the Valorant Battle Pass Worth 1,000 VP?
Yes if: you play 5+ hours per week, you want exclusive Act-specific skins, and you do not buy individual skin bundles.
No if: you barely play, you only care about specific premium bundles, or you only want a few items in the pass (you cannot buy individual pass tiers).
The bundle equivalent of a Battle Pass's contents would normally cost 4,000-6,000 VP, so the Battle Pass is a strong value if you actually complete it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the Battle Pass with VP from a previous Act?
Yes. VP carries over between Acts and Episodes indefinitely. Buy 1,000 VP any time and use it whenever a new pass drops.
How long do I have to complete the Battle Pass?
The pass is locked to the Act it belongs to (roughly 2 months). Unfinished tiers do not carry to the next Act.
Can I refund the Battle Pass?
No. Battle Pass purchases are non-refundable. Once you buy it, you keep it.
What is the cheapest way to get VP for the Battle Pass?
The cheapest legitimate way is through third-party sellers like SwiftBux, which offer VP at roughly $2.27 per 1,000 VP — about 4x cheaper than Riot's best official rate.
