Here’s a look at the maps currently featured in Valorant’s competitive play in Episode 9 Act 3:
- Abyss
- Ascent

While Valorant comprises a total of 11 maps, only a select few are currently available for competitive play. The following maps are excluded from the pool for Episode 9 Act 3:

When is the Next Map Rotation?
Although there is no fixed schedule for the upcoming map rotation, it is confirmed to be featured in Patch 10.0 (which will mark the beginning of Episode 10 Act 1). Players can expect the return of Fracture and Lotus, while Ascent and Sunset will be removed from the competitive rotation.

Understanding Map Pool Rotation
With each new Episode release, Riot Games revitalizes the competitive landscape by cycling in and out various maps. This strategy serves multiple purposes:
- It keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting.
- It eases the learning curve, allowing players to focus on mastering limited map types, rather than juggling multiple terrains.
- It lowers the stress levels for newcomers, providing a more manageable learning experience.
For players aiming to excel in Ranked mode, it is crucial to adopt optimal settings, including the best keyboard and mouse configurations, along with effective crosshair codes.
