Valorant: Players Unable to Use the Shop for Payments as the UPI Payment Option Disappears, All You Need to Know

Valorant cosmetics has seen players spend a ton of real money on Battle Passes and bundles. Over the course of an Episode, many players have opened their wallets for a new melee or skins for weapons like the Vandal, Spectre, Phantom and more.

In India, players have the option to choose from various payment options such as credit card, debit cards and more. Along with that, they can also employ the use of UPI, which provides ease of access during payments. However, some players are now reporting issues regarding payments through UPI.

As evidenced by a recent Reddit post regarding the matter, Indian players are now claiming that Valorant no longer shows the options to pay for storefront brought items through UPI.
