VALORANT may be a free-to-play game, but its monetization model is based on skins and cosmetic items. There are more than a single way to unlock such items, and paying for them will often be the fastest.
It’s entirely possible to follow a budget-friendly approach while collecting skins, and that’s where the Night Market comes in. The Night Market allows players to pick up cosmetic items at a discount. The skins showcased available in the Night Market will be picked at random, and players will need to get lucky to land their favorite skins.
Even if you don’t get a cosmetic item that you’ve been eying in the Night Market, the deals will always be worth it purely because of the price-performance ratio they offer. Though you won’t be able to reroll any of the items, you’ll be able to get a second chance since the Night Market returns every two months.
When will the Night Market come back to VALORANT?
Riot only announces the Next Market dates a few days before it actually arrives. If you’re wondering when the next Night Market will be, you’ll need to take a look at the previous Night Market dates to guess when the next one could arrive.
