Riot Games opens community voting for the 2026 Give Back bundle

Riot Games has officially opened voting lines for this year's Give Back Bundle, giving players around the world a direct say in where charitable funding is directed. The initiative ties in-game purchases to real-world social impact, and this year, the community gets to help steer the wheel.

Vote for a Cause That Matters to You

From June 10–24, players can cast their votes on charitable causes through Riot's regional social platforms. Each region will feature causes that are locally relevant, meaning the options presented to players in India won't necessarily mirror those in Brazil or South Korea. The causes themselves were curated using survey data collected from players across Riot's game titles over the years.

Some of VALORANT's most supported causes from previous Give Back cycles include Good Health and Mental Wellbeing, Education, No Poverty, and Environmental Conservation—a list that reflects what the global player base genuinely cares about.

Once voting wraps up, the top-voted cause in each region will receive dedicated support from the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, managed in partnership with Impact Assets.

Which Regions Are Participating?

This year's voting is open across 19 regions:

• Brazil
• France
• Germany
• India
• Indonesia
• Italy
• Japan
• Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru)
• MENA
• Philippines
• Poland
• South Korea
• Spain, Taiwan
• Thailand, Türkiye
• UK + Ireland
• USA + Canada
• Vietnam

How Your Purchase Makes a Difference

Beyond voting, players can contribute directly through the Give Back Bundle itself. 50% of proceeds from weapon skins and 100% from accessories within the bundle will be donated to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund. It's a rare opportunity where buying in-game cosmetics translates into tangible charitable impact.

Players looking to learn more about the Social Impact Fund can visit the official Riot Games Social Impact Fund page.

Keep an eye on Riot's regional social channels when the bundle goes live as your vote could shape what cause gets funded in your corner of the world. For all things VCT-related, make sure to stay tuned to THESPIKE.GG as we continue to update you with the freshest game and esports news.
