Earlier this week Riot Games officially announced Valorant, their Overwatch-style 5v5 hero shooter, and, of course, one question immediately arose – how will Riot monetize their game? Overwatch was the game that really popularized the dreaded loot box after all.

Well, we now have some more information about Valorant monetization plans, and it sounds like Riot won’t be trying to foist anything too egregious on players. Valorant will be free to play, with a variety of skins for characters and weapons, sprays, and other cosmetics for sale in-game. There will also be a Fortnite-style battle pass system, with many of the game’s cosmetics being earnable through gameplay. Notably, Valorant won’t be offering any sort of loot boxes.
