When is the next Valorant map pool rotation? All Episode 9 Act 2 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 2.

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 9.08. The upcoming rotation will see the return of Pearl and Split, with Icebox and Lotus dropping out of the pool.

Map pool rotation explained

Every time Riot release a new Valorant Episode, some of the maps are removed from the map pool while some 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 for players.

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