Valorant YR1 Events

On the official Valorant website Riot said, “With one year of VALORANT in the books, the only proper thing to do is celebrate for a month. That’s why in June we kick off VALORANT YR1, a slate of events and opportunities—both in-game and out—to thank you with cool stuff for a year’s worth of headshots, Spike plants, and insta-locking Duelists.

If you weren’t around last year don’t worry, we’ll vouch for you when telling people you were into VALORANT before it went mainstream.

The YR1 events each have their specific start and run times (most of them, today!). We’ve assembled the basics for you below, but please know we’ll keep you alerted on the start and end times on our channels, so watch closely.“

Even though it’s technically Valorant’s birthday, there’s another gift to the player, “The YR1 Event Pass” and this will be free for everyone.

No prerequisites, no VP spend, just 7 levels of exclusive YR1 items like the Episode 3 Player Card, a Gun Buddy, and more. Just play VALORANT, earn XP, and unlock.

EPISODE 3 LIVESTREAM(21st June)

When YR1 ends, Episode 3 begins. Join a panel of devs from the Competitive, Agents, and Premium Content teams for a look at Episode 3 and year two.

Live on Twitch, June 21 at 10AM PT.

SQUAD BOOST (From 22nd June to 26th July)

You can get more from VALORANT when you play with friends. Queue with your favorite entry fraggers, support, and lurkers, to get more XP in any VALORANT game mode. Squad Boost runs for one month, specifically, June 22 to July 26, with timings to coincide with your local Patch release.

Your boost depends on your party size. Queue as a tag team and you get 8% extra XP. Form a triple threat and you get 12%. Queue with four, and you get more—that’s 16%. Five-stack and you earn a 20% XP boost.

Remember, XP from Squad Boost applies to all game modes except customs. And it all ends July 26 (check your local Patch release). Don’t worry, we’ll remind you before it’s over.

ACCOUNT LEVELING (22nd June)

Episode 3 will add a new way to recognize and reward you for your time playing VALORANT. We don’t have much information about this event as of now. We will get you updated as soon as Riot release some addition information.

New Agent

A new episode means a new Agent, and Riot already hinted about the new agent quite a few times. Hopefully, we will get to see a new agent in the Valorant YR1 Event.
