Valorant players have long awaited an easy way to share in-game currency, and now, with the 11.11 patch in December 2025, Valorant VP gifting is finally here. This new feature offers a convenient way to send Valorant Points (VP) directly to your friends, making it easier than ever to help them unlock skins, agents, or store bundles. Whether you’re celebrating a friend’s achievement or just spreading some good vibes, VP gifting is becoming a core part of the Valorant experience.

How Does Valorant VP Gifting Work?

Valorant VP gifting lets players purchase Valorant Points as a gift for someone on their friends list. When you head to the VP purchase page in the Store, you’ll now see a “Gift” icon next to each VP bundle. After selecting the bundle and your recipient, you’ll confirm the amount and payment method. The VP is delivered instantly once the transaction is complete.

The process is straightforward, but there are a few requirements both sender and receiver must meet:

  • Both accounts must be level 15 or higher.

  • You must have been friends in Valorant for at least one week.

  • Neither party can be serving a long or permanent ban.

  • VP gifting is only available on PC.

  • Players must be on the same region and shard.

Regional and Account Restrictions

Riot Games has implemented several restrictions to keep VP gifting secure and fair. Here are the main limitations:

Region Gifting Limitation
Southeast Asia/AP, EMEA, KR, LATAM, BR, NA Must be in same region and shard
Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam Can only gift within same region
Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Iran Can only gift within same region

If you’re trying to gift VP and it isn’t working, check that both accounts meet the requirements above. Issues with region locks are common, so make sure you and your friend are playing in compatible regions. If all else fails, Valorant’s support team is available to help troubleshoot.

What Can You Gift Besides VP?

Besides Valorant Points, players can also gift featured store bundles, individual items from those bundles, and Esports bundles. If your friend already owns part of a bundle, the price adjusts so you only pay for the items they don’t have. Riot Games has hinted at more gifting options in the future, so expect this system to expand.

Using Prepaid Gift Cards for VP Gifting

Another way to share VP is through prepaid Valorant gift cards. These cards are sold in denominations such as $10, $25, $50, and $100, and are available digitally via Amazon or at major retailers (for supported regions). After purchase, your friend simply enters the card’s code in the Valorant client to redeem their VP. Remember:

  • Prepaid cards are PC-only and region locked

  • Avoid buying from unauthorized third-parties to prevent errors

Always keep your card and receipt until redemption is successful in case you need support for any issues.

What Happens After Sending a Gift?

Once your VP or bundle gift is sent, your friend can choose to accept, reject (which refunds you), or simply do nothing. If they don’t respond within 60 days, the purchase amount is refunded to your account, so nothing is lost.

Refunds and Troubleshooting

Refunds for bundle gifts are typically not available unless required by local laws. VP gifts may be refundable under special circumstances—if you think your case qualifies, contact Riot’s support team. Common issues include region locks and unactivated gift cards, so double-check all details before gifting.

Tips for Smooth Valorant VP Gifting

  • Always verify your friend’s account meets gifting requirements

  • Double-check regions and shards for compatibility

  • Use official retailers for prepaid cards

  • Communicate with your friend after gifting to confirm receipt
