With this year’s Pride Month underway, VALORANT has once again released a collection of in-game items to celebrate the identity and inclusion of all its community members.

Here is everything players need to know about the VALORANT Pride 2025 event and how to obtain its rewards.

Leading up to the International LGBT Pride Day on June 28th, Pride Month is celebrated throughout June to commemorate the contributions of the LGBTQIA+ culture and community. Since 2021, VALORANT has released an annual Pride-themed collection in-games, which can be redeemed for free during June.

Its initial release contained eight player cards representing various LGBTQIA+ Pride flags, as well as the player titles ‘Ally’ and ‘Proud.’ In the following years, the collections were gradually expanded to include gun buddies and additional player titles.

For instance, during last year’s Pride Month, players could also obtain the ‘Bear Hug’ buddy and the ‘Better Together’ title.

Similarly, Riot has introduced the ‘Flyby Hug’ buddy and the ‘Ate’ player title. The player cards remain the same as always:

  • Pride // Rainbow Card (Traditional Pride Flag)
  • Pride // Cotton Candy Card (Trans)
  • Pride // Galactic Card (Nonbinary)
  • Pride // Mint Card (Gay)
  • Pride // Primary Card (Pansexual)
  • Pride // Sherbet Card (Lesbian)
  • Pride // Sunset Card (Bisexual)
  • Pride // Twilight Card (Asexual)

Players can redeem the different in-game accessories in Riot Games’ redeem shop using the following codes:

Although the Pride rewards have received small supplements yearly, some community members have criticised VALORANT for recycling the same player card designs since 2021. Others have pointed out that the player cards have been limited to eight flags for so many years, while the LGBTQIA+ community includes many more identities and orientations.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
