A new year starts with a new patch in Valorant, which is quite big. Valorant patch notes for V25 S1 are a major start to the new season. Yes, with the arrival of 2025, Episodes are going away, but the update situation remains the same. This new patch update includes a new hero, massive map rotations, agent balances, new cosmetics, and more. Here is the full overview of the Valorant patch notes 10.
New Agent Tejo Arrives in Valorant
The major highlight of Valorant Season 25 Act 1 patch notes is the new agent Tejo . Valorant’s 7th initiator comes with a ton of firepower and the utilities to change the game’s approach. Jump in Valorant and utilize Tejo’s abilities to mow down enemies in a blink.

Valorant Patch 10 General Updates
Valorant is shifting to Annual Seasons with the patch 10. This means there will be no more Episodes.
- Introducing Season 2025 : This year will feature a single, year-long Season 2025.
- Six Acts : The Season will be divided into six Acts, allowing for ongoing celebrations throughout the year.
- Rank Resets : Ranks will reset at the beginning of Season 2025. A second mid-season rank reset will also occur.
- Explosion Gameplay Updates : Adjustments have been made to how ability effects themed as explosions function. This aims for more consistent damage output from Raze, Sova, and Gekko’s explosions. Specifically, Raze’s Showstopper (X) should now deal damage more reliably when clipping into level geometry.
Agent Updates
Valorant patch notes 10 does not bring major agent changes. However, Brimstone gets a massive stim beacon buff. Here are all the agent changes in the upcoming update:
Brimstone
Brimstone Stim Beacon’s normal equip times are rare and usually reserved for abilities with higher counterplay needs. This is a light quality of life change for Brimstone. However, the equip time after casting is now faster.
Flex Cosmetics Are Here in Valorant
With the already big roster of cosmetics in the game, Valorant releases a new style of items called the Flex cosmetic in patch 10. The spray wheel has been replaced with the Expressions Wheel. This is where you can equip your Flex cosmetics.
Players will have a free Flex in their inventory named STAT-COM. A new one will be available in the Valorant 25 Season 1 battlepass after the live patch update.

Valorant Patch 10 Gameplay System Updates
All Platforms
- Auto Remake Improvements: If a player AFKs in the first round, an automatic remake vote will now begin. Only a majority vote of the remaining players is needed to pass the remake. Previously, all remaining players had to vote yes for a remake to occur.
- Ping System Update: A new “show map pings in world” cheat has been added for Custom games. This cheat allows players to see map pings worldwide, enabling better lineup practice and experimentation. This feature reverts map pinging behavior to how it was before Patch 9.11.
Map Updates and Rotation
- Starting with Patch 10.00, maps will rotate every Act.
- The specific maps included in each Act’s map pool will be announced soon after the Act begins.
- Fracture and Lotus are returning to the Competitive and Deathmatch queues.

- Valorant Night Market for the Season 2026, Act 1 will start on February 5, 2026.
- The new skins added to the Market were the Combat Crafts, Aperture, and Wonderstallion weapon skin bundles.
- To purchase the skins, go to Night Market -> Click the Cards -> Reveal Skins -> Purchase your desired skin.
The Valorant Night Market is one of the most anticipated events each season. During this limited-time event, players have six cards, each containing different weapon skins from previous Valorant skin bundles. The best part is that these skins come at a discounted price. The discounts can go up to 50%, which is worth it. So, for those wondering when the next Valorant Night Market is, we’ve compiled the Season 2026 event details and what skins will be included here.
When is the Next Valorant Night Market (Confirmed Date)
After the end of the February Night Market, Riot Games has finally revealed the official dates for the next night market. As per the official social media post, Valorant’s next Night Market will start on February 5, 2026, and end on March 2, 2026. The previous Night Market ended on January 6th, 2026, with the beginning of Valorant Season 2026 Act 1.
We have included the official release date and time for Valorant’s next Night Market for certain regions in the list below:

The night market usually runs for around 20+ days, while the December 2024 market was live for three weeks. As you might know, the cards will not refresh during this duration. You can get the revealed skins until the Night Market ends at a discounted price. As per the official dates, the next Night Market will end on March, 2025. This will be right before Season 2026 begins.

How to Access Valorant Night Market
I may have never been lucky in the skins department of the Valorant store, but the night market always thrills me for one reason. Yes, we’re talking about the Night Market skins reveal ceremony we have all seen our favorite streamers hype and enjoy. I am sure someone who never got a good night market also loves this part.
Well, it is not a ceremony-like thing but follow the steps below to know how to reveal your skin in the Night Market:
First of all, make sure you check the dates above for the Night Market as they have a limited time.
Now, when Night Market is live, open Valorant. On the home screen, look for the card icon on the top right of your screen.
Once you click the icon, there will be six mystery cards on your screen.
The colors on the cards define the rarity of skins you will get. Click each card to reveal your Night Market skins.
Got to Nightmarket
Click on the Cards
Reveal the Skins
That’s how you can reveal the skin in Night Market. Now, choose the skin you want to buy for a special discount by clicking on the skin.
Can I Reroll Night Market Skins in Valorant?
No. Unfortunately, you must be fortunate to have good skins in the Night Market. Once you reveal these skins, you cannot reroll them in the current period of the Night Market in Valorant. There is also no refresh or reset for the market.
So, you will have to choose from these skins only if you want to purchase anything from the market. Well, you can also wait for two more months to see your next Night Market skins.

No, the Night Market stays there for 20+ days. You can only purchase skins at a discounted price during that. Once the market expires, the skins will go away from the market and prices will be basic in the store.
Yes and No, Both. You can refund only if the skin comes under the Valorant refund policy . If the skin does not come under the policy then you cannot ask for a refund.
