Riot Games Announces VCT 2025 Season Capsule

Riot Games has unveiled the VCT 2025 Season Capsule, a new in-game collection designed to celebrate the competitive season and provide fans with more ways to support teams and leagues.

What's in the VCT 2025 Season Capsule?

The Season Capsule includes:

  • VCT Karambit – A sleek melee weapon with five chromas representing the four International Leagues and the VCT theme. At Level 3, top fraggers will see a special glow effect.

  • 4 Regional Player Cards – Animated designs showcasing each International League’s identity.

  • 4 Gun Buddies – Reactive charms that activate when fired, adding extra flair to matches.

A New Approach to Esports Monetization

Unlike Team Capsules, which directly benefit individual organizations, the Season Capsule distributes proceeds across all VCT teams, ensuring more equitable support. Riot cited revenue disparities in past Team Capsule sales, where organizations with major tournament victories or dominant regional followings benefited disproportionately. The new model aims to raise the financial baseline for all teams.


In 2024, esports cosmetics generated over $44 million USD for partnered teams, and Riot hopes the Season Capsule will contribute to similar success.


Availability

The VCT 2025 Season Capsule will be available in VALORANT’s in-game store from February 6 until the end of Masters Bangkok. Fans can purchase it to represent their region while directly supporting the esports ecosystem.
