Ready for another round of weapon skin discounts? The VALORANT Night Market is coming back this December, and Riot Games has confirmed the dates. This popular limited-time shop event will run right in time for the holidays, ending in January next year. Here’s a quick guide to everything you need to know.
When the VALORANT Night Market Starts
Riot Games confirmed that the VALORANT Night Market will open on December 11 and run until January 6. The announcement was shared on the game’s social media pages to remind players not to miss it.
Since this Night Market lasts almost a month, you’ll have plenty of time to look through your six random discounted skins and decide if you want to buy any. Whether you’re hoping for a premium skin or trying to get something you missed before, this long event gives you a good chance to find something you like.
How the VALORANT Night Market Works
The Night Market, first added in 2020, quickly became one of the most popular features in VALORANT. Every player gets six random discounted skins, with prices cut by about 10% to 49%.
How it works:
- Open the Night Market in the game.
- Six cards will show up, each hiding a skin.
- Flip the cards to see which skins you got and how big the discount is.
- If you like a skin, you can buy it for the discounted price.
Not all skins can appear, though. Ultra-tier skins, Exclusive bundles, and melee skins over 4,350 VP are normally excluded.
Because everything is randomized, it’s a bit of a gamble—some players get amazing skins like Ion or Reaver, while others get more basic ones. Still, the randomness is what makes the Night Market fun.

Snowball Fight Also Expected to Return
Riot is also bringing back Snowball Fight, a fun 5v5 winter mode where everyone uses Snowball Launchers with unlimited ammo. It hasn’t been in the game since Winter 2020, but it’s expected to return with the Night Market. It’s a nice extra mode for players who want something light and entertaining while browsing their discounted skins.
Conclusion
Just in time for the holidays, the VALORANT Night Market on December 11 will soon gift players a great chance to grab discounted skins. It might be randomized, but with the amount of good weapon skins there are to get, it’s highly likely you’ll flip a card with one of your favorites on it. What skins are you hoping to get this time?
