Riot Games Confirms Sharing $78.4 Million With VCT Teams in 2024

Riot Games Boosts VCT Teams with Record-Breaking Revenue Share

In a recent announcement, Riot Games revealed the amount of revenue that they’ve shared with Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) teams throughout the year, and the figures are nothing short of remarkable.

The company confirmed providing a staggering $78.4 million USD to teams competing in the VCT in 2024, with $44.3 Million coming directly from in-game VCT content.

Alongside the Champions 2024 bundle, fans were able to support their favorite VCT teams by purchasing team-specific capsules. These bundles included a Classic weapon skin, a Gun Buddy, and a Player Card, all themed to represent the respective team.

For the uninitiated, Riot Games shares a portion of the VCT bundle sales directly with the partnered teams.

As previously confirmed by Riot, the revenue from the Champions 2024 bundle will be divided into 60 equal parts, with the 16 qualified teams receiving two parts each, while the remaining teams will receive one part each.

In addition to revenue from in-game content, Riot Games allocated significant funds to the teams through team stipends and tournament prize pools.

However, unlike last year, Riot Games has not disclosed the amount of revenue generated from this year’s Champions bundle sales.
