The Story This Season
Season 2026 Act 4 launched June 24, 2026, introducing the Summit map — set at Sage's mountain training academy in China — featuring three droppable walls that open and close pathways mid-match to reshape sight-lines. The permanent Retake game mode (3v3, spike pre-planted, randomized loadouts) debuted as a bomb-site practice tool. The Blackspyre Collection skin line covers the Phantom, Sheriff, Spectre, Ares, and the Divide melee. Act 4 runs through August 19, 2026.

When Does Valorant Season 2026 Act 4 End?
Valorant Season 2026 Act 4 ends on August 19, 2026. The live countdown above tracks the exact rollover to Act 5, including the ranked reset, Battle Pass deadline, and Radianite point expiry.
Riot Games confirmed Act 4's end date through the in-game Battle Pass timer and the official VALORANT Wiki. The transition happens during a scheduled maintenance window — servers go offline briefly before Act 5 goes live with fresh ranked placement matches and a new Battle Pass.
Act 4 Schedule and Key Dates
Season 2026 Act 4 runs from June 24 to August 19, 2026 — approximately 56 days. The act launched alongside the Summit map, Retake mode, and the Blackspyre Collection skin line.
The most reliable source for act timing is the in-game Battle Pass screen — the timer in the top-right corner reflects Riot's official deadline. This page syncs to that same timestamp.
What Happens When Act 4 Ends
At act end, your ranked badge and RR (Rank Rating) are soft-reset — you keep your rank icon but must complete fresh placement matches to set your Act 5 rank. Any unfinished ranked goals stop counting.
The Battle Pass expires permanently. Any tiers you haven't unlocked are gone — no grace period, no VP refund, and no way to retroactively claim missed cosmetics. Claim every reward before the August 19 deadline.
Act 4 runs from June 24 to August 19, 2026 — about 56 days. The Battle Pass costs 1,000 VP and contains weapon skins, gun buddies, sprays, player cards, and Radianite Points. The Summit map is the flagship addition: a three-lane map set at Sage's mountain training academy in China with two spike sites and three droppable walls that can open or close pathways mid-match, shifting sight-lines dynamically.
The Retake game mode launches as a permanent addition — a 3v3 format where the spike is pre-planted at the start of each round and both teams receive randomized loadouts. There is no economy, no buy phase, and no plant pressure: every round is a retake scenario, ideal for practicing post-plant positioning and execute reads.
Summit Map Details
Summit is a three-lane map built around traditional Chinese architecture, training facilities, and meditation gardens spread across a mountainous environment. The droppable walls are the mechanical hook: each can be activated mid-match to open or seal a pathway, rewarding teams that track wall states and control sight-line shifts.
A reduced rank-rating penalty on Summit applies for the first two weeks of Act 4 only — after that, losses on Summit carry the same RR cost as any other map in the pool.
Ranked Placement and Battle Pass Tips
Valorant's act system means ranked resets three times per year. Your Act 4 rank badge will be preserved as a collectible in your profile at act end, but your RR is soft-reset at act rollover. Act 4 placement matches place most players within 1–2 ranks of their previous act peak.
Each Battle Pass tier requires 2,000 XP by default. Daily and weekly missions are the fastest path — completing the full weekly set nets roughly 12,000–15,000 XP, enough to advance 6–7 tiers per week toward the August 19 deadline.
