Full List & Current Map Pool

Valorant has 13 standard maps as of Season 2026 Act 4, plus five Team Deathmatch arenas and a practice range — but you’ll only see seven of them in ranked at any given time, because Riot rotates the competitive map pool every Act. This guide lists every map, the current rotation, and how the pool system works.

The seven maps in the ranked rotation right now are Summit, Sunset, Breeze, Haven, Lotus, Split, and Ascent. Pearl, Fracture, and Bind rotated out when Act 4 began, while the brand-new Summit went straight into the pool (with a two-week reduced-RR-loss grace period) alongside returning Sunset and Ascent — so if your ranked games feel unfamiliar lately, that’s why.

The pool applies to the Competitive, Premier, and Deathmatch queues. Maps outside the rotation don’t disappear: you can still play them in Unrated, Swiftplay, and custom games, and they cycle back into ranked in future Acts.

Bind – Two sites, no mid, and one-way teleporters that make rotations and flanks unlike any other map.

Haven – The original three-site map. Defenders are stretched thin, so fast rotations and info-gathering win here.

Split – Tight, vertical, and defender-friendly, with rope ascenders and a mid that decides most rounds.

Ascent – The closest thing Valorant has to a classic three-lane shooter map, with an open mid and sealable site doors.

Icebox – Ziplines, layered verticality, and awkward angles everywhere. Aggressive off-angle players thrive.

Breeze – Big, open, and long-range. Rifles and Operators rule the wide sightlines.

Fracture – The H-shaped experiment: attackers can hit both sites from two directions at once, flipping normal map pressure on its head.

Pearl – An underwater city with a traditional two-site, three-lane layout and no gimmicks — pure fundamentals.

Lotus – Three sites, rotating stone doors, and a silent drop. Constant rotation reads make it one of the most info-hungry maps.

Sunset – A Los Angeles street map with a conventional layout where mid control is almost everything.

Abyss – The first map with no perimeter walls: overextend and you can fall off the edge of the playable space.

Corrode – The Season 2025 Act IV addition: a corroded French castle town turned Radianite salt-mining site, and a deliberately gimmick-free two-site map built to favor gunplay over ability spam. A rotation staple ever since.

Summit – The newest map (June 2026): a three-lane, two-site layout with droppable walls at A, Mid, and B — shoot the switch and the wall comes down, permanently sealing that route and its sightlines for the rest of the round.

Riot keeps seven maps in the competitive rotation and updates the pool at the start of each Act — a system in place since the start of Season 2025. The goal is balance between freshness and mastery: a smaller pool means you can genuinely learn every map in the rotation instead of splitting practice across thirteen.

If you’re grinding ranked, that has a practical consequence: focus your map knowledge on the current seven. Learning executes and default setups for maps that aren’t in the pool pays off later, but it won’t win you RR this Act. (If you’re not sure how RR and MMR interact, our Valorant ranked system guide breaks it down.)

Team Deathmatch runs on its own dedicated arenas rather than the standard maps: District, Piazza, and Kasbah (launched with the mode in June 2023), Drift (added December 2023), and Glitch (added 2024). They’re small, symmetrical, and built for constant respawn fights — good warmup real estate before ranked. The Range rounds out the roster as the practice area for training and onboarding.

For official map overviews and imagery, Riot maintains a gallery on the Valorant website.

The pool shifts every Act, so the same questions come back around like a retake — here are the current answers, good through Season 2026 Act 4, so you can settle the lobby debate before the round starts.

New maps land roughly once a year and the pool shifts every Act, so bookmark this page — we keep it current with each rotation.
