How to Check Your Valorant Purchase History
Valorant is a free-to-play, first-person shooter game that requires no extra payment to unlock key features. However, Riot Games – the company behind Valorant – makes millions of dollars each year through in-game purchases, known as microtransactions.
This article explains how to check your Valorant purchase history to stay in control of your in-game spending.
Valorant Points explained
Players can buy a range of items to progress in the game and enhance their experience using Valorant Points (VP). This in-game currency is purchased using real money. There are plenty of opportunities to spend Valorant Points throughout the game. They can be used to buy:
- weapon skins
- collection bundles
- sprays
- player cards
- player titles
- tier unlocks
- gunbuddies
- discounted items in the Night Market
- upgrades to premium Act battle pass.
There is a secondary currency in Valorant called Radianite Points (RP) and there are two ways for players to acquire Radianite Points. They can either buy them with Valorant Points or earn them by completing the battle pass. Radianite Points are used to purchase premium content and upgrade weapon skins (that have already been bought using Valorant Points) by unlocking the full potential of the skin.
Players can see how much money they have spent on Valorant Points by checking their Valorant purchase history.
