September 2026 is shaping up to be an important month for VALORANT skin collectors. Players can continue progressing through the Season 2026 Act 5 Battle Pass, watch for the final availability of the Aeris Collection and prepare for the anticipated Champions 2026 bundle.
Important: Riot Games has not announced every September store rotation. Dates and details marked as expected should be confirmed through VALORANT’s official channels or the in-game store before purchasing VP.
Released on 18 August 2026, the Aeris Collection may remain relevant entering September depending on the APAC Featured Store countdown. This Ultra Edition collection combines magical fantasy with enchanted cards and animated cardistry.
The complete bundle costs 9,500 VP and includes:
Its main attraction is the Suit of Aeris, which transforms between a dagger, sword and greatsword during different attacks. The firearm skins also feature custom audio, animations, kill effects, colour variants and a dedicated finisher.
Players interested in the entire collection should check its Featured Store countdown early in the month. Once the bundle leaves, individual eligible firearms may return through Daily Store rotations, but the complete bundle and its accessories will no longer be available together.
The full collection offers the strongest value to players who want several Aeris firearms and the transforming melee. The four firearm skins cost 2,375 VP each, meaning that purchasing all four separately would already total 9,500 VP.
Players who only want the Vandal, or who rarely use the Guardian, Marshal and Bandit may receive better practical value by purchasing a single skin instead.
Remember that additional variants and upgrade levels may require Radianite Points, so the bundle’s VP price may not represent the total upgrade cost.
The Season 2026 Act 5 Battle Pass remains active throughout September. The Act runs from 19 August to 14 October 2026, although the exact closing time for Singapore players should be confirmed through the in-game countdown. See the Act 5 schedule and reward list.
For 1,000 VP, the Premium Battle Pass provides three skin collections:
A bright café-inspired collection featuring:
The Verdant Cafe Chef’s Knife is the Tier 50 Premium reward, while the Verdant Cafe Classic is available through the free track.
An urban public-transport collection featuring:
A fine-dining-inspired collection featuring:
The pass also includes Radianite Points, gun buddies, sprays, player cards and titles.
September is the main progression month for Act 5. Players who purchase the Battle Pass early enough will have more time to earn XP and unlock the complete Premium track before the Act ends in October.
Unlike purchasing a store bundle, buying the Battle Pass does not immediately unlock every reward. Players should consider how frequently they play and whether they can realistically reach Tier 50.
For players building a wider skin collection, however, the Battle Pass offers significantly more loadout coverage per VP than purchasing individual premium skins.
The biggest anticipated cosmetic release of September is the Champions 2026 Collection, created in connection with VALORANT Champions Shanghai.
Riot’s official esports page confirms that Champions Shanghai will take place across September and October and will crown the 2026 VALORANT World Champion. View the official Champions Shanghai overview.
At the time of writing, Riot Games has not officially announced the 2026 bundle’s:
Based on previous Champions collections, the bundle is expected to contain one premium firearm skin, one melee weapon and tournament-themed accessories. Community reports suggest a Phantom may be included, but this remains speculation until Riot publishes the official reveal.
Previous Champions bundles have also included custom music, finishers, kill effects and performance-based visual changes. The 2026 collection may follow a similar approach, but players should avoid treating leaked features as confirmed.
Champions collections are especially attractive because they are connected to VALORANT’s largest annual esports tournament and are usually sold for a limited period.
Unlike many regular firearm skins, Champions cosmetics have historically not returned through the Daily Store or Night Market after their original sales period. If Riot follows the same model in 2026, players who miss the initial release may not have another opportunity to purchase the collection.
This combination of exclusivity, tournament branding and premium effects could create one of the strongest VP purchase periods of the year.
September 2026 offers three different types of value for VALORANT players.
The Aeris Collection provides a premium, effect-heavy experience. The Act 5 Battle Pass offers broad and affordable loadout coverage. The expected Champions 2026 Collection presents the strongest potential for limited-edition appeal.
The best purchase will depend on which weapons a player uses, how much time they can commit to Battle Pass progression and whether exclusivity is worth paying a premium for.
Keep checking Riot’s official announcements and the in-game APAC store countdown throughout September, as unannounced bundles and regional transition times may change the final schedule.
