VALORANT patch 12.10 adds Masters London Pick’Ems, replays

Riot Games released VALORANT patch 12.10, which adds Masters London Pick’Ems and a replay-sharing feature that lets players view friends’ match replays from career pages. The update also makes changes to Skirmish and Premier modes and includes routine fixes and balance adjustments.

Pick’Ems for VALORANT Masters London 2026 open for the Swiss Stage on May 27. Players must predict which teams will advance from the eight-team Swiss groups. Extra points are awarded for correctly selecting a team that finishes the stage with a 2-0 record. Every participant receives an exclusive title, and accurate predictions unlock additional in-game rewards. The Pick’Ems window begins May 27; players should submit their picks before the event closes.

The replay-sharing tool allows users to watch friends’ match replays directly from those players’ career pages. Replays are available for Competitive, Unrated, Swiftplay, Premier and Custom matches. For Custom games, the lobby host must enable replay recording before each match for the replay to be saved.

Skirmish: Ascension received updates for 1v1 and 2v2 formats. All agents are now available to use in these modes even if a player has not unlocked them. The Skirmish map pool expanded with two new arenas, labeled D and E. Both maps are available in all queues and custom lobbies and include ramps designed to alter sightlines and create different combat angles.

Premier mode changes adjust scheduling for the V26A3 Contender and Invite divisions. Riot updated the timeline for those divisions and advised players to check the in-game schedule for exact local start times. Riot published playoff dates tied to the update: the first round of playoffs is scheduled for June 20, with the next round for advancing teams on June 21.
