How to Play Valorant on Mac
VALORANT can run on some Intel Macs through Boot Camp, but Apple silicon Macs are not supported.


VALORANT bundles are limited-time cosmetic collections built around a shared theme. A typical bundle can combine several weapon skins with a melee skin, Player Card, Gun Buddy, Spray or other cosmetic extras, while smaller releases may contain only one or two weapons.
Prices vary dramatically. Some simple collections cost only a few thousand VALORANT Points, while the most elaborate premium releases can approach or exceed 10,000 VP. The number of skins is not the only factor behind the price - animations, finishers, variants, custom audio and other upgrades can push a collection into a much higher tier.
VALORANT now has more than 150 weapon-focused bundle releases across standard collections, sequel skin lines, esports releases, Run It Back collections and special event bundles. In 2026 alone, Riot has released more than 20 bundle drops and capsules. As of October 2026, the latest new bundle releases are Champions 2026 and the Warden Launch bundle, both released on September 22.

The two newest additions arrived alongside Patch 13.06 and Champions Shanghai.
The Champions 2026 bundle costs 6,640 VP and is built around two premium items:
The collection continues Riot's annual Champions cosmetic line. The Phantom and melee use the familiar Champions presentation while adding a side-dependent visual theme that changes between attacker and defender styling. The full bundle also includes supporting cosmetics such as Player Cards, a Gun Buddy and Spray. Unlike a normal five-weapon collection, Champions releases focus on a smaller number of high-end items tied directly to VALORANT's world championship.
Patch 13.06 also introduced the Warden rifle, and Riot paired the weapon with a smaller launch collection. The Warden Launch bundle is listed at 995 VP and contains the Galleria Warden alongside themed accessories. This makes it fundamentally different from a normal full skin line. The purpose of the bundle is to give players an immediate cosmetic option for the new weapon rather than introduce a complete theme across multiple guns.
The table below covers weapon-containing bundle and capsule releases from January through September 2026.
| Bundle | Release date | Price | Weapon / melee skins |

| VCT 2026 Season | February 18 | 5,550 VP | 1 |

| Run It Back: Neo Frontier | July 29 | 9,310 VP | 6 |
| Aeris | August 18 | 9,500 VP | 5 |
| Run It Back V26 Capsule | September 3 | 5,460 VP | 3 |
| Champions 2026 | September 22 | 6,640 VP | 2 |
| Warden Launch | September 22 | 995 VP | 1 |
Not every entry follows the traditional "four guns plus one melee" structure. VCT capsules, Champions collections, weapon launch bundles and Run It Back releases use their own formats. That distinction is important when comparing prices. A 6,000 VP two-item Champions release and a 7,100 VP five-skin standard collection are not designed as equivalent products.
There is no universal bundle price. In 2026 alone, weapon-containing releases range from the 995 VP Warden Launch bundle to collections priced at 9,500 VP, such as Aeris and the 2026 Kuronami release.
The broad pattern looks like this:
| Bundle type | Typical characteristics |
|---|---|
| Small capsule | One to three main weapon items |
| Standard collection | Several gun skins, often with a melee |
| Premium collection | Custom effects, animations, variants and finishers |
| Run It Back | Returning skins selected from older collections |
| Esports bundle | VCT or Champions-themed cosmetics |
| Launch bundle | Small release tied to a new weapon or feature |
Price alone therefore tells only part of the story. Players should compare the actual contents, upgrade features and weapons included before deciding whether a full bundle makes sense.
The Radiant Entertainment System remains the highest-priced major VALORANT weapon bundle released so far at 11,900 VP. Released in 2023, the collection became an outlier even among premium skin lines because of its extensive visual and audio treatment. Most premium collections cost less than that. Even some of the largest 2026 releases remain below 10,000 VP.
This also shows why comparing bundles by the number of skins alone can be misleading. Two collections with five weapon skins can have very different prices depending on their upgrade systems and production level.
A traditional full collection often contains several weapon skins built around the same visual theme.
Common bundle contents include:
Higher-end weapon skins may also support additional upgrades purchased with Radianite Points. These can include custom animations, visual effects, finishers, sounds or color variants. The exact structure varies significantly between releases. Riot increasingly uses smaller capsules and sequel collections, so players should check the individual contents rather than assuming every bundle contains five weapons.
Run It Back collections bring previously released skins back together in a temporary Featured Store bundle. They are useful for players who missed older collections, but they should not be confused with a full re-release of one original skin line. Riot can combine skins from different collections into one curated package.
The 2026 season has used this format several times, including:
Some of these releases contain more weapon skins than a traditional bundle because they are built as returning collections rather than one new theme.
VALORANT's esports ecosystem has its own cosmetic releases. VCT Team Capsules are designed around professional organizations and allow players to represent teams inside the game. Their structure differs from standard cosmetic collections because they are esports products rather than normal themed weapon lines.
Champions bundles are annual limited-event releases connected to VALORANT Champions. Riot typically gives the collection a premium presentation and builds it around a small number of headline items instead of a normal five-skin lineup. Champions 2026 follows that model with a Phantom and Fan melee as its two main weapon items.
New bundles normally appear through the Featured Store. Unlike the rotating individual offers, the Featured section highlights a collection for a limited period. Riot can occasionally have more than one Featured bundle available at the same time, especially around special events or overlapping releases.
When a bundle leaves the Featured Store, that does not automatically mean every weapon skin inside it is permanently unavailable. Eligibility depends on the collection. Older individual skins can return through rotating offers, while Riot can also bring selected cosmetics back through releases such as Run It Back. Special event and esports cosmetics may follow different rules, so players should not assume every bundle will eventually return in its original form.
Many Featured Store collections allow their weapon skins or other eligible items to be purchased individually. This can make more sense when a bundle contains five items but you only want one Vandal, Phantom or melee skin. The full bundle is generally designed as a package, so its overall value can look better than buying every component separately. That does not necessarily mean it is the better purchase for an individual player. If you only use one or two weapons from a collection, buying the specific skins you actually want can require much less VP.
Yes. Riot added gifting to VALORANT's Featured Store in 2025. Players can send eligible Featured Store bundles or individual Featured items to friends as long as the account and recipient meet Riot's gifting requirements.
The process is handled directly through the Store:
Riot later increased the gifting limit to 10 gifts per day. Gifting support is tied to eligible store items, so not every cosmetic in every part of VALORANT's economy should be assumed to be giftable.
No. The Featured Store and Night Market are separate systems. Featured bundles are curated releases chosen by Riot and normally appear for all eligible players during their availability window.
Night Market generates six personalized discounted offers for an individual account. Those six cards are randomized from an eligible skin pool and remain fixed for that Night Market period. A new premium bundle does not simply appear inside everyone's Night Market, and many high-tier or special-event cosmetics are not part of the Night Market pool.
Sometimes, but not on a predictable schedule. Riot has several ways to return older content. Individual eligible weapon skins can reappear through the rotating store, while curated packages such as Run It Back can bring multiple older skins back at once.
Other collections may receive a sequel rather than a direct rerun. Reaver, Oni, Neo Frontier and Kuronami are examples of skin families that have received later releases. This makes the name of the collection important. A "2.0" or later-year version is usually a new release with different weapons, not simply the original bundle returning unchanged.
VALORANT's bundle format has become much more flexible since launch. A release can now serve several purposes: introduce a full skin family, celebrate Champions, support a VCT team, relaunch popular older skins or give a new weapon its first cosmetic option. That is why the number of items can range from one to six or more weapon and melee skins depending on the collection.
For players comparing value, the better question is not "How many skins are in it?" but "Does the bundle contain skins for weapons I actually use?"
No. Weapon skins are cosmetic and do not increase base damage, accuracy, fire rate or other weapon statistics. Premium skins can substantially change presentation through custom audio, reload animations, inspect animations and visual effects, but the underlying weapon remains mechanically the same. Some players may personally prefer the sound or visual feedback of certain skins, but that should not be confused with an actual stat advantage.
The full collection is usually most attractive when you like several of its weapons and the melee skin.
Before buying, consider three things:
Bundles create urgency because they are featured for a limited time, but the best purchase is still the cosmetic you actually expect to use.
As of October 2026, the most recent new releases are Champions 2026 and Warden Launch, both introduced on September 22. Champions 2026 is the larger premium esports release at 6,640 VP, while Warden Launch is a small 995 VP collection created around the new Warden rifle. No newer weapon bundle has been officially revealed on Riot's current game-update feed as of this guide's latest verification.
