VALORANT Maps

Every VALORANT map – the current seven-map competitive pool, the maps out of rotation, Team Deathmatch arenas and practice maps.

VALORANT has 13 standard maps for its Spike modes, plus five Team Deathmatch arenas and a few practice spaces. Only seven maps are in the competitive pool at a time, and Riot rotates them every few Acts. Maps that are out of rotation can still be played in Unrated, Swiftplay, Spike Rush and custom games.

Patch 13.08 opened V26 Act 6 with a big swap: Bind and Corrode came back, while Ascent and Split left. The newest map is Summit, set in China, which arrived in June 2026.

Map tips

Learn the calloutsEvery spot has a name (Heaven, Hookah, Link…). Load a map in a custom game and walk it before you play ranked.
Warm up in DeathmatchDeathmatch uses the same map pool as Competitive, so it doubles as map practice.
Check your Map RatingSince 13.08 you get a private 0–500 rating and a C-to-S grade on every map in Competitive and Premier.
Pick agents for the mapSome agents shine on certain maps – wide-open Breeze suits different picks than tight Bind. See all agents.
