How to Redeem Valorant Codes

Updated:

In Valorant, just like in any other game by Riot Games, or any other game in general, there are redeemable codes that will give you free stuff. It could be something completely free or something your friend (or yourself) already paid for in advance. Either way, here’s how to redeem Valorant codes, gift cards, and where to get them.

There are two kinds of Valorant codes: Prepaid Gift Cards and freebie redeem codes.

Prepaid Gift Cards are codes that have Valorant Points in them to spend in-game on skins and cosmetics. You can buy these gift cards from Amazon or any gaming retailer that you trust. Be aware, that gift cards are region-specific. So if you are buying a gift for someone else, make sure you get one for their region. Otherwise, they will not be able to activate it. Here’s full guidance on Prepaid Gift Cards if you are still unsure about them.

Freebie codes are redeemable codes that Riot Games give out to get free in-game items like titles or display cards. It’s not much, but it’s free. Such codes are usually released through social media like Twitter or Twitch, so keep an eye out for new posts and announcements. The codes go out once a month and have a limited time to be redeemed. Usually around 48h, after that, they are gone forever.

How to Redeem Valorant Codes

For each kind of code, there is a dedicated way to redeem them. Here you can find instructions on how to redeem a Valorant gift card and a freebie code respectively. If you don’t know what kind of code is it, ask the person who gave it to you or try both methods. Who knows, you might be in for a surprise.

If you got your hands on a gift card you need to activate it in-game. You need to go and top-up your Valorant Point balance as if you were to spend money yourself. But don’t worry, in this case, none of your cash will be spent because it was probably your friend who paid for it.

To redeem a Valorant Prepaid Gift Card:

  • Open Valorant
  • Click on your Valorant Point balance to open the store
  • In the payment method choose “Prepaid Cards & Codes”
  • Enter your code
  • Tick the consent box on the bottom of the screen
  • Spend it all on skins!

For the freebie codes, there is a dedicated website for you to use. As we already mentioned, those codes are time-limited and the website to redeem them will only work while the redeem codes are available which is usually around 48h after they were released. If you try to open it while there are no codes available it will redirect you to the Valorant’s main page.

To redeem a Valorant freebie code:

  • Visit Valorant code redemption page
  • Log in to your account
  • Enter respective codes
  • Open Valorant to check for code presence on your account
