VALORANT 13.08 starts Act 6 with a new Map Rating system, Corrode adjustments and a refreshed map rotation. Bind and Corrode enter the Competitive and Deathmatch pools, while Ascent and Split leave.

How Map Rating works

Each map receives its own 0–500 score and a grade from C to S+. The calculation combines overall, attack-side and defense-side win rates with Performance Score. Competitive and Premier matches contribute, and everyone starts fresh because earlier matches are not counted retroactively.

Corrode and the map pool

Corrode has updated defender rotations, a revised Mid layout and changes to the A-site plant zone. These edits can alter rotation timing and space-control habits.

Other changes and VP

Performance Score weighting was adjusted, including agent-specific handling for Chamber. Queue selection and Career navigation were refreshed. Riot's official 13.08 notes do not announce a change to VALORANT Points prices, VP bundles or payment methods. Players can visit the DostGame VALORANT category and should match the product region to their account region.
