The popular Give Back Bundle is making its anticipated return to Valorant from May 15-30, 2025, offering players a chance to purchase premium skins while supporting charitable causes worldwide.

This initiative continues Riot Games' tradition of combining gaming with global social impact, allowing the Valorant community to contribute to meaningful change.

What's in the Give Back Bundle 2025?

This year's collection features five premium edition skins that have been pre-selected rather than determined by community vote as in previous iterations. The bundle includes:

  • Prime Classic
  • Zero Fang Ghost
  • Recon Phantom
  • Cryostasis Vandal
  • Valiant Hero Operator

Each weapon skin is priced at 1,775 VP, consistent with premium tier pricing in Valorant's store. The bundle also includes exclusive accessories:

  • Give Back gun buddy (975 VP)
  • Give Back player card (775 VP)
  • Give Back spray (675 VP)

The complete collection will cost 7,265 Valorant Points, with each item also available for individual purchase.

Supporting the Social Impact Fund

What makes this bundle special is its charitable component. Riot Games will donate 50% of proceeds from weapon skin sales and 100% of proceeds from accessories to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund. This fund serves as Riot's nonprofit engine for global social impact initiatives.

Established in 2019, the Social Impact Fund operates as a separate entity from Riot Games in partnership with ImpactAssets. This structure allows Riot to make direct investments to organizations worldwide that address pressing global challenges. The fund simplifies the complex process of international charitable donations, enabling support for nonprofits in virtually any country where Valorant players reside.

A History of Giving

The Give Back initiative has proven remarkably successful in previous years. The first Give Back Bundle in 2021 raised an impressive $5.5 million for charity. Since then, it has become an annual tradition eagerly anticipated by the Valorant community.

"The Social Impact Fund is Riot's nonprofit engine which fuels our collective efforts for global social impact. In partnership with ImpactAssets, the fund allows players to have a much deeper reach to help more people in a lasting way."

 - Jimmy Hahn, Senior Manager of Social Impact, Riot Games

Gaming with Purpose

While the accessories are priced higher than standard Valorant items, this reflects their charitable purpose-100% of these proceeds go directly to the fund. For players primarily interested in supporting the cause, these accessories represent the most direct way to contribute.

The Give Back Bundle exemplifies how gaming communities can unite for positive social change. By purchasing these limited-time items, Valorant players not only enhance their gaming experience with premium cosmetics but also contribute to addressing real-world challenges through the Riot Games Social Impact Fund.

Mark your calendars for May 15, when the Give Back Bundle becomes available in the Valorant store, offering a two-week window to game for a good cause.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
