On February 21, Riot Games revealed exclusive in-game VALORANT cosmetic VCT 2024 Team Capsules, which are a collaboration between the developer and the 44 teams that are currently partnered in the VCT league.

Together with our partner teams, we are taking the next step to build a sustainable model for esports and the greatest competitive experience in gaming.”
All of the 44 VCT 2024 Team Capsules was designed to match the energy and aesthetics of the teams they represent. Each of the capsules include the following:
- Classic and AR Inspect skins with unique firing audio and recolored muzzle flash.
- A custom Player Card, co-created with teams.
- An exclusive Buddy and Spray set.
Fans will be able to purchase VCT 2024 Team Capsules throughout the entirety of the VCT season, so they will be available for most of the year. Players will be able to find them in a separate esports tab on the main menu of their VALORANT interface. Capsules for the EMEA, Americas, and Pacific will be available starting on February 21, while Capsules for Chinese teams will launch in May to celebrate Masters Shanghai.
Teams across the globe are currently competing in their respective Kickoff events to see who will win a spot at the first international event of the year, Masters Madrid, and earn Championship points.
