Valorant Points increase hits some of shooter's most popular regions

As if getting your hands on some exclusive and incredible-looking Valorant skins wasn't difficult enough, Riot's making sure some players will have an even harder time trying to acquire them after announcing a VP price increase for some of the FPS' most popular regions expected to take on 8th September.

In a statement shared on the official Valorant website, Riot explained their decision, pinning the blame on "adjustments to account for changes in currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional discrepancies."

The most affected region is Latin America, with Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, and Uruguay set to receive VP price increases of at least 11%. Turkey (17%) and Russia (6%) are also affected by this.

On the other hand, European countries that use Euros, Great British Pounds, and Hungarian forint will see a price decrease of 5%.

Alongside the price changes, Riot also unveiled a special Bonus Currency increase starting on 23rd August all the way up to 8th September at 1 pm PDT / 9 pm GMT, when the VP changes will go live.

This offer will let players receive double bonus VP when buying a bundle from the store. As an example, during this period the 1900 VP bundle will grant 300 bonus VP (normally 150).
