Today we want to introduce the all new VCT 2025 Season Capsule, a celebration of the competitive season and a new way to represent your region and home league in VALORANT! With the launch of this capsule, this season of the VCT will feature the largest amount of esports collections ever, giving players the most amount of options to support and contribute to the success of your favorite teams and leagues.
Here’s what’s included the 2025 Season Capsule:
VCT Karambit: A sleek new melee weapon and the first-ever skin with five chromas, representing the four International Leagues and the VCT theme. At Level 3, top fraggers will see a special glow.
4 Regional Player Cards: Animated designs that celebrate the identity of each International League.
4 Gun Buddies: Reactive charms that represent each region and activate when fired, adding flair to every match.
While Team Capsules let you rep your favorite teams, the Season Capsule is all about showcasing pride in your region and league. The Season Capsule also furthers our mission of supporting esports organizations financially, with a portion of the proceeds going back to every team in the VCT. With the Season Capsule, we’re taking a lesson from the Champions Collection by creating a single new collection whose proceeds will be split across all our leagues and teams.
Our goal is to give fans multiple ways to support teams in the VCT and the introduction of the Season Capsule will provide an additional alternative to Team Capsules. Last year, we noticed that some teams benefited significantly more than others from Team Capsules, with the disparity being greater than expected at the extremes of the distribution curve.
The best-performing Team Capsules last year came from teams that won major global events or dominated regional fan bases. Since not all teams can enjoy the advantage of earning storefront placement after winning a Masters or Champions event, we wanted to create a product that raises the baseline for all competitors. In 2024, fans helped generate over $44 million USD for partnered teams through esports cosmetics and we hope to see similar success with the introduction of the Season Capsule.
The 2025 Season Capsule will launch globally on February 6th at approximately 2pm PST in the in-game store and will remain available until the end of Masters Bangkok. Grab the VCT 2025 Season Capsule to represent and support your favorite esports teams!
