While VALORANT doesn’t have actual seasons, it does use what is effectively a seasonal model, with roughly six-month-long Episodes broken into Acts, which are a couple of months long.

With each Act, VALORANT players get treated to new content like new agents, new maps, and new modes. Each Act gives the new addition time to play with the community without overloading players with too much new content.

At the time of writing, VALORANT is hosting the third Act of Episode Eight, which began on April 30.
