What is Game Pass?

Game Pass is a subscription service from Microsoft that provides access to a library of games on Xbox and PC. The Game Pass subscription offers various perks, including free games, early access to new titles, and exclusive content. With the release of Valorant on consoles, it's now easier for players to get exclusive rewards, especially for console players who often use the subscription.

Benefits of Xbox Game Pass and Valorant

With Valorant launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, players have a unique opportunity to take advantage of Game Pass subscription benefits. In the future, subscribers will receive discounts on various in-game items, including skins, agents, and other cosmetic weapon upgrades. Some of the benefits include:

Game Pass members can receive exclusive skins and in-game items for Valorant through special promotions.
Occasionally, discounts on in-game purchases, including Valorant currency and premium elements, are provided.
Xbox Game Pass subscription grants immediate access to all agents in Valorant, eliminating the need to unlock them. This allows players to focus on gameplay rather than unlocking new characters. Additionally, updates about new agents will be available to subscribers on the day of their release.
Xbox Game Pass holders can enjoy a 20% bonus to Match XP, applicable to the Battle Pass and all Valorant content events. This makes progression faster and more engaging.
Moreover, Xbox Game Pass benefits extend beyond consoles. By linking your Riot account with an active Xbox Game Pass account, bonuses will be available on other platforms, including PC and PS5, provided you use the same Riot account.
