Riot: Valorant Champions 2026 Bundle Tops $50 Million for VCT Teams as Shanghai Final Nears

Saturday, October 17, 2026 · Games · GSM News

Riot Games announced this week that the Valorant Champions 2026 bundle has generated more than $50 million for Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) teams. Under Riot's model, 50 percent of the bundle's net proceeds go to the teams, implying net sales above $100 million in under a month since the 'Frag or Die' collection launched on September 22. The 6,640-VP bundle features a Champions Phantom skin and a folding-fan melee weapon that swap color schemes between attack and defense. Demand was especially strong in China, where, per Dot Esports, the bundle sold more than 300,000 full sets for about $20.7 million on Douyin in its first three hours. The share is distributed across 48 partner teams in the Americas, EMEA, Pacific and China leagues, with teams qualified for Champions Shanghai receiving double shares. Champions 2026 is in its final weekend in Shanghai, with Vitality facing LOUD in the upper final, 100 Thieves meeting G2 in an elimination match, and the grand final set for Sunday, October 18. Riot also released its VCT 2027 schedule the same day. (GSM, via Riot Games, Pley.gg and The Esports Radar)
