How to Gift Skins
Riot Games has rolled out the Valorant Season V25 Act 3 update, delivering a significant addition that many in the community have been waiting for: the option to gift skins. With this update, players now have the ability to purchase and send featured skins or bundles from the in-game store directly to their friends.
While the gifting system adds a new social element to the game, it does come with certain limitations that users should be aware of. As players explore the new feature, there is considerable interest in understanding the exact steps required to give skins to teammates and friends within Valorant.
Steps to Send Skins as Gifts in Valorant
Players looking to send skins or bundles to others in Valorant can follow an easy process within the game. The process starts by launching Valorant and accessing the main menu. From there, clicking on the store icon gives access to the latest available bundles and skins.
Step-by-step Gifting Process
- Navigate to the store from the home screen.
- Pick the bundle or skin that should be gifted.
- Click the Gift button typically found beneath the pricing details.
- Choose the intended recipient from the list of friends.
- Double-check the item selection and press Next to move forward.
- Review the price breakdown, then proceed to finalize the gift.
| Action | Location |
|---|---|
| Open Store | Main Menu |
| Select Bundle/Skin | Store Tab |
| Click „Gift“ | Under Price Tag |
| Choose Recipient | Friends List |
| Confirm & Checkout | Gift Summary Screen |
Once everything is confirmed, completing the final checkout will send the selected skin or bundle. The recipient is given sixty days to accept the gift. If declined or left unclaimed, the Valorant Points used for the purchase are refunded to the sender.
Gifting is currently limited to featured bundles, and both sender and recipient must follow any requirements set by Riot Games.
Valorant Gifting Restrictions
Players who wish to send or receive gifts in Valorant must follow several rules to ensure the process runs smoothly. Both the sender and the receiver need to be friends in-game for at least seven days, and neither player can be banned. The sender must reach at least Account Level 15 before being allowed to gift.
A few more limitations are in place:
- Gifts can only be purchased from the store’s Featured section
- Gifts must be sent and accepted within the same region
- Players are limited to sending a maximum of five gifts every day
- The recipient has sixty days to accept any received gift
These guidelines help prevent abuse and ensure the gifting system is used fairly.
