VCT Americas has announced new multiyear partnerships with Samsung SSD and Pulsar, expanding its lineup of official hardware collaborators ahead of the league’s Kickoff 2025 event.

Samsung SSD, recognized as the world’s leading flash memory brand, has been designated the Official Memory Partner of VCT Americas. Starting this season, Samsung SSD will launch the “Samsung SSD Match Start,” a feature aimed at energizing English-language stream viewers with pre-match excitement before selected VCT Americas games. Additionally, the partnership includes the creation of a new recap package that leverages Samsung SSDs to compile and share key moments from matches in easily shareable clips for social media platforms.

To support professional players, Samsung SSD will integrate its flagship 990 PRO SSD into the hardware used by VCT Americas competitors. The 990 PRO is known for its rapid read and write speeds, which help reduce load times and minimize in-game lag while maintaining energy efficiency during extended gaming sessions. For console gamers, the Heatsink version of the 990 PRO is designed to keep the drive cool, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay.

In parallel, Pulsar, a global peripheral brand, has been named the official provider of keyboards, mice, and mouse pads for VCT Americas. As part of this partnership, Pulsar will introduce the Pulsar Flick of the Week, highlighting pivotal headshot moments that can change the outcome of matches across English, Portuguese, and Spanish broadcasts. Additionally, Pulsar will enhance the in-person experience for fans at Riot Games Arena by outfitting the venue with its latest mice, keyboards, and mouse pads.

Pulsar’s collaboration with VCT Americas extends its support to both the Americas and Pacific regions of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT). The partnership includes plans for exclusive content and special events designed to elevate the overall experience for both players and fans.

These new partnerships underscore VCT Americas’ commitment to providing high-quality equipment and engaging content, aiming to enhance the competitive scene and fan experience throughout 2025. VCT Americas, a key component of Riot Games’ Valorant Champions Tour, continues to expand its infrastructure and partnerships to support the growing global esports community.
