How Many Games is 60,000 XP in Valorant?
As a Valorant expert and content creator with over 300 hours played, I get asked this question a lot: just how long does it take to earn big XP milestones like 60,000? With the intricacies of Valorant‘s XP system across different modes, there‘s more to it than a simple calculation. Let‘s break down everything you need to know about the grind to 60k.
XP Per Game Mode
First, let‘s establish how much XP you can earn per match across the most popular Valorant game types:
| Game Mode | XP Earned |
| Unrated/Competitive | 100 XP per round played + 200 XP per round won |
| Spike Rush | 1,000 XP per match |
| Deathmatch | 900 XP per match |
So if we take an average Unrated/Competitive match of 24 rounds, with say a 50% win rate:
- 24 Rounds Played * 100 XP Per Round = 2,400 XP
- 12 Rounds Won * 200 XP Per Round = 2,400 XP
- Average Per Match = 4,800 XP
For faster modes, you earn significantly higher base XP just for completing matches:
- Spike Rush: 1,000 XP
- Deathmatch: 900 XP
Already we can see the tremendous variance in per-match XP – but there‘s more to the story.
Maximizing XP With Missions, First Wins, Stacking
Simply grinding matches won‘t cut it if you want to reach XP goals fast. You need to optimize across multiple XP bonus categories:
Daily/Weekly Missions
- Up to 1,000 XP per daily mission
- Up to 3,000 XP per weekly mission
First Win of the Day Bonus
- Earn 1,000 XP bonus XP for your first win in a 24 hour period
Playing With Squad
- +20% XP when grouping as full 5 player squad
As a high-level player scheduling matches with my squad daily, I earn an average of 7,000 – 9,000 XP per day utilizing these bonuses on top of match XP.
Adding this all up over a typical Act yields huge XP numbers…
Just How Many Matches for 60,000 XP?
Given optimized daily XP earnings of ~8,000 XP:
- 8,000 Daily XP * 30 Days per Act = 240,000 XP per Act
Combining this with the base per-match XP numbers, we can calculate out total games needed:
| Game Mode | Average XP Per Match | Matches for 60,000 XP |
| Unrated/Competitive (just grinding) | 4,800 XP | 375-400 matches |
| Spike Rush | 1,000 XP | 60 matches |
| Deathmatch | 900 XP | 67 matches |
| OPTIMIZED DAILY | ~8,000 XP | ~75 Days of Play |
As you can see, just spamming Unrated/Competitive matches is extremely inefficient if your goal is supercharged XP gains. Combining missions, first win bonuses, squad play, and faster modes is the key to cutting down the total # of matches needed!
The Long Road to Radiant
Now to put those 60,000 XP numbers into wider context. For reaching Valorant‘s highest tiers like Immortal and the top 500 leaderboard Radiant, you need to accumulate a staggering amount of XP:
- Immortal Rank XP Requirement: 675,000+ XP
- Radiant (Top 500) Requirement: 1,000,000+ XP
So my total focus currently is maximizing daily XP to chip away at that lofty 1 million Radiant milestone. At my current pace of ~240k per Act, it‘s still a 2-3 Act journey to get there!
But I hope this deep dive has provided some guidance into the inner workings of Valorant‘s XP system. Now get out there, build a dedicated squad, and start tackling those dailies! We‘ve got Acts to grind, Agents.
