When is the next Valorant map pool rotation? All Episode 9 Act 3 competitive maps

While Valorant features a variety of maps, not all of them are available in the current pool. These active rotations ensure that players can only play on a select few.

With this in mind, here’s the current Valorant map rotation in Episode 9 Act 3.

Is there a date for next map rotation?

There is no set date for the next map rotation although it is confirmed to arrive in Patch 10.0 (Episode 10 Act 1). The upcoming rotation will see the return of Fracture and Lotus, with Ascent and Sunset dropping out of the pool.

Map pool rotation explained

Every time Riot releases a new Valorant Episode, some of the maps are removed from the map pool while others are added to the rotation.

This is done to keep the competitive mode fresh and make the learning curve less stressful for players. All maps in the game have their unique line-ups, so if there are 11 maps in the pool, knowing all of them can be hectic.

Not only does it reduce the stress on players but it also makes it easy for newcomers to get a hang of the maps and how to navigate through them in the competitive mode.

If you’re looking to dominate the Ranked mode, make sure to use the best Valorant keyboard & mouse settings and the best crosshair codes in the game.
