Teasers and leaks have begun surfacing online suggesting that Riot Games is gearing up to bring back the VALORANT Give Back Bundle for 2026, and this year's edition might be the most exciting one yet.

What Is the Give Back Bundle?

For those unfamiliar with it, the Give Back Collection is a limited-time bundle featuring fan-favorite weapon skins pulled from various existing VALORANT collections. What makes it truly special, however, goes beyond the cosmetics themselves. The bundle is created in direct collaboration with the VALORANT playerbase, who vote on which weapon skins earn a spot in the lineup.

On the charitable side, 50% of the proceeds from weapon skin purchases and 100% from accessories go directly to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, in partnership with Impact Assets. Since its inception, the bundle has raised a total of $5.5 million—a testament to how enthusiastically the community has rallied behind it each year. Players who purchase the full bundle also receive a 33% discount across all contents.

What's Inside the 2026 Give Back Bundle?

This year's lineup has already been leaked, and it's stacked:

  • Prime Vandal

Prime Vandal

  • Mystbloom Sheriff

Mystbloom Sheriff

  • XERØFANG Knife

Xerofang Knife

  • Reaver Operator

Reaver Operator

  • Primordium Phantom

 

Primordium Phantom

There are a couple of notable firsts here. This marks only the second time the Give Back Bundle will feature five weapon skins—every edition from 2021 through 2024 included just four.

More significantly, this is the first time a melee skin has ever been included, with the XERØFANG Knife making history as the bundle's debut knife cosmetic. Last year's 2025 bundle featured the Prime Classic in its place, making this year's melee inclusion a genuine upgrade for collectors.

The Reaver Operator also makes a return, having last appeared in the 2024 bundle. Longtime fans of that skin will be happy to add it to their collection if they missed it the first time around.

Leaked Price Details

Early leaks have revealed pricing figures from the Chinese server, with the full bundle sitting at 5,972 VP. Individual skin prices will be as follows:

  • Prime Vandal: 1,290 VP

  • Mystbloom Sheriff: 1,590 VP

  • XERØFANG Knife: 3,180 VP

  • Primordium Phantom: 1,590 VP

  • Reaver Operator: 1,290 VP

It's worth noting these prices are currently only for the Chinese market. International pricing has not yet been officially announced, so players outside of China should hold off before budgeting until Riot drops a global figure.

What to Expect Next

With leaks already out in the wild, an official Riot announcement is likely just around the corner. Given the bundle's track record of raising millions for social causes while delivering community-chosen skins, the 2026 edition looks set to be the biggest Give Back Bundle yet.

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.
