Xbox and Riot Games announced a partnership in 2022, which brought a variety of benefits to the Xbox Game Pass membership. Players who have an active Xbox Game Pass membership receive a variety of rewards and perks in several Riot Games titles.
To get benefits and perks in Valorant, players have to first link their Xbox account to their Riot account. Here is how to link the accounts:
- Go to the Riot Games and Xbox Game Pass welcome page.
- Log in to your Microsoft account, and make sure it is the same account that has an Xbox profile.
- Click “Yes” to allow Riot Games to access your Xbox Live information.
- Sign in with your Riot account.
Once, the accounts are linked. You’ll find the rewards and benefits in Valorant. However, these rewards will only persist in Valorant as long as you have an active Xbox Game Pass membership. It may take roughly 24 hours for the benefits to become available in the game after the accounts are linked.
Game Pass membership benefits in Valorant
In Valorant, Game Pass players get all Valorant Agents unlocked for free. Moreover, having an active Xbox Game Pass membership will also ensure that any new agent coming to Valorant is instantly unlocked on your account on day one. Valorant players with the Game Pass membership also get a 20% match XP boost that applies to Battle Pass, Active Agent Contract and Event Pass progress.
This XP boost will not apply to daily and weekly missions, or the overall account level XP. This 20% XP boost is not possible to stack with other XP boosts.
