  • Three redeemable Pride items — the “Holding Space” title, Pride Wingman spray and player cards — are now available through VALORANT’s code redemption page for Pride Month.
  • VALORANT paired the giveaway with testimonials from LGBTQ+ artists and players across Brazil, Australia, the Philippines, EMEA, Mexico and North America about finding representation, support and creative inspiration in the game.
  • Several contributors pointed to specific moments of queer visibility in VALORANT lore and roster — including Killjoy and Raze, Clove and Phoenix’s family reveal — as milestones that made them feel seen.
