Over the years, the developers have added several maps that players can compile into a Valorant maps list. The developers are constantly making adjustments and tweaks to the map, allowing them to discover new ways to use the maps to their advantage. While making changes to a map, the developers usually take it off the active map pool and replace it with another one.
This article takes a deep dive and assembles the Valorant Map List that details the active map pool, their release dates, and more.

The active Valorant maps list as of Episode 9 Act 1 is as follows:
- Icebox
- Ascent
- Lotus

At the start of Episode 9 Act 1, Split and Breeze were taken out of the competitive map pool to make space for Haven and Abyss. The former has been added without any changes, while the latter makes its Ranked debut.
You should also note that thanks to requests from community members, all 11 maps introduced in Valorant so far can be played in Unrated and other non-ranked games. This excluded Team Deathmatch, which has its unique map pool.
