One of the systems the VALORANT community has been waiting for has finally been added to the game — the gift system. Players can now give skins to their friends. However, there are some nuances: in our opinion, the system is not fully developed yet and lacks many features. In this article, we’ll explore how the VALORANT gifting system works, what can be gifted, and what should be improved.
Now VALORANT have gifts funcion that allows players to send certain in-game skins to other users. Similar systems have existed for a long time in other popular games like League of Legends or Fortnite, and now they’ve made their way into Riot Games’ shooter.
Many are curious about this, as the system has significant limitations. Moreover, not everything can be gifted. Here's a table:
Gift system requirements for players
Parameter | Description |
Level | The account must be at least level 15. |
Friends | The giver and receiver must be friends for at least 7 days. |
Gift frequency | No more than 5 gifts per day. |
Restriction | You can’t gift an item the receiver already owns. |
Same region | Both players must be on the same server and in the same region. |
The biggest downside of this system is the very limited selection of gifts. As of May 2025, you can only gift the current collection or individual skins/items from it. If you gift the whole collection and the recipient already owns one of the items, the price will be adjusted — you don’t pay for what they already have.
Riot Games stated that over time, they plan to expand the list of items available for gifting. According to rumors, VCT team bundles may be giftable in the future. What the system is really lacking, in our opinion, is the ability to gift skins from the daily store, as many older skins are still worth getting.
If you want to learn how to gift someone a skin in VALORANT, the process is simple and only takes a few steps:
After this, the recipient must accept the gift within the next 60 days. If they decline, the funds will be returned to the sender’s balance.
In short, you can’t gift anything that’s not included in the current list of giftable items. At the time of this article’s publication, you can only gift the current collection or its items.
The main things you can’t gift, but would like to:
April 29, 2025, is the VALORANT gifting system release date. It wasn’t something new or unique, but its presence didn’t harm anyone and was well-received by the community, as players can now surprise their friends or receive gifts themselves. Despite the limited list of giftable items, players hope it will expand in the future.
This system is an important step in the development of the VALORANT community. It enhances social interaction, as now content creators can more easily host giveaways, and friends can treat each other. So, the answer to the question “Can you gift skins in VALORANT?” is now a firm yes — and we’ve described how to do it above.
