Valorant Night Market: Everything you need to know
Chirag Munjal
Valorant's much-anticipated Night Market is making a comeback this week, offering players a chance to secure a selection of coveted in-game skins at a discounted price. This popular event is arriving ahead of Valorant Episode 7 Act 1, which is scheduled to launch later this month.
The Night Market's return aligns with the recent launch of Valorant Patch 6.11, which came out earlier this week before Valorant Episode 6 Act 3 concludes. Valorant introduces the Night Market once per Act, making it a monthly feature that players eagerly look forward to.
We're hearing reports that some of you are having issues with Night Market and rotating Store offers. As a result, we're turning Night Market off for now. We'll work on a fix and hope to bring it back soon.

How Does the Valorant Night Market Work?
The Valorant Night Market is a special event that presents players with an opportunity to purchase some of the top skins in the game at a reduced cost. The catch is that the six skins available to players each month are randomly chosen, and they can't be rerolled, meaning players must stick with the options offered during that month's Night Market.
When Can You Access the Valorant Night Market?
The latest Valorant Night Market begins today! You should be able to access it around 2pm BST / 9am EDT / 6am PDT, which is the usual release time for Valorant updates. The Night Market will be accessible until June 27, coinciding with the scheduled release of Valorant Episode 7 Act 1.
How to Access the Valorant Night Market?
As soon as the Valorant Night Market is live, players will receive a pop-up notification on the main menu. This prompt will guide you to the Night Market, unveiling the specific skins available for that month. If you wish to revisit the Night Market after your initial visit, simply click on the card icon next to the store tab on the main menu.
What Skins Are Available in the Valorant Night Market?
Upon accessing the Night Market, you'll be given a selection of six skins, each associated with a different weapon. Any skins released before Valorant Episode 6 Act 2 can be up for grabs, but new skins won't become available until 2 Acts after their debut. Consequently, the following skins won't be available in the Night Market until Episode 7 Act 1:
- Oni: Frenzy, Bulldog, Vandal, Ares, Onimaru Kunitsuna
- Altitude: Sheriff, Bucky, Vandal, Odin, Knuckle Knife
- Black Market: Classic, Bulldog, Vandal, Marshal, Butterfly Knife
It should be noted that any skins classified as Executive or Ultra Edition will be ineligible for the Night Market. Players should be prepared for the fact that the Night Market selection is final for the duration of the month, with no option to reroll the item choices.
As we eagerly anticipate the launch of Valorant Episode 7 Act 1, the return of the Night Market adds an extra layer of excitement for players, offering a chance to enhance their in-game aesthetics while awaiting the new gaming chapter.
