Riot Games is celebrating Pride Month across the Valorant community with several special initiatives at Masters Toronto. The celebration includes a custom Pride mural created by community artist Strawberry, a limited-edition 2025 Pride Collection available in-game, and downloadable Pride-themed wallpapers.
Custom Pride Mural Debuts in Toronto
The Valorant Americas team has unveiled a vibrant Pride mural at 768 Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario. Created in collaboration with community artist Strawberry (she/her), the artwork celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community within gaming and esports.
The mural blends iconic Toronto visuals with popular Valorant agents, creating a colorful tribute to the diversity within the game's community. Fans can visit the mural throughout June as part of the Masters Toronto event festivities.
Limited-Time Pride Collection Available In-Game
Players can join the celebration virtually with the limited-edition 2025 Pride Collection, available in-game through June 30 at 2pm PT. This collection offers players a way to showcase their pride while competing in matches.
For those unable to visit Toronto, Riot has also released downloadable Pride Mural Wallpapers for desktop and phone, featuring Strawberry's vibrant artwork.
Meet the Artist Behind the Mural
Strawberry, who has been part of the Valorant community since its beta in 2020, shared insights about her creative process for the mural. "Pride for me means supporting each other and celebrating being equal, as well as being compassionate and considerate with others," she explained. "Pride means having the strength to live as yourself and helping others feel more welcome."
This marks the first time Strawberry's artwork has been transformed into a mural. "It honestly was such a huge honor for me to be considered for this," she said. "I've loved these agents so much for so long and to actually get to work on a project like this was honestly incredibly precious and dear to my heart."
