VALORANT Episode 8 Act 1 Battlepass Release Date

As of the end date of Episode 7 Act 3's Night Market, VALORANT's next act is expected to release on either January 8 or January 9, 2023, depending on the region.

The VALORANT battle pass is a system that gives players a chance to earn various rewards. Each battle pass season lets players earn rewards by progressing through the game and completing various missions.

VALORANT battle pass content generally includes the following items:

• Skins and Weapon Wraps: The battle pass gives players exclusive weapon wraps and character outfits. This lets players customize their characters and weapons in-game.
• Sprays and Radianite Points: By leveling up the battle pass, players can earn cosmetic items like sprays and Radianite Points. Sprays are known as various designs that can be drawn on walls in-game.
• RADIANITE Crystals: These special crystals are used to upgrade weapon wraps and other cosmetic items. Players earn RADIANITE Crystals as they complete battle pass levels.
• Player Cards and Gun Buddies: The battle pass gives players the chance to customize their player cards and gun buddies. These cards contain the profile information shown to other players.

Since the VALORANT battle pass is a content package offered to players at the start of each season, it provides constant motivation to keep progressing and earning rewards in-game.
