UK and Spanish esports organisation GiantX have launched a new Valorant VCT membership and bundle to kick off 2025, offering perks to fans.
This will go live on Thursday January 9th 2025.
The org made the announcement on Twitter this week, with their UK Valorant steamer Tenshi promoting the new offering.
Users can become a member by purchasing GiantX’s new Valorant bundle in-game, then filling in a form on the GiantX shop page with proof of purchase.
Some of the benefits of being a member include monthly draws for Valorant skin packs, with prizes valued at more than £4,000, and access to a private VIP Discord.
There’s also a chance to attend Valorant Champions, which is essentially the esports world championship of the game, towards the end of 2025, plus a chance to visit VCT EMEA Stage 2 and watch the esports action there in person.

Members also get one year of access to Radiant Premium, a tool to help players improve their Valorant skills, saving them £50.
Those who sign up to GiantX’s VCT membership will also be able to enter an exclusive gaming PC giveaway, and receive a newsletter from GiantX featuring team news, store discounts and other Valorant updates.
