Does the battle pass in VALORANT progress even if you don’t purchase it?

Yes, it keeps your progress. So if you end up playing a lot, you can see what you’d automatically unlock before purchasing the battle pass.

When you are ready to buy you can then purchase the premium upgrade and unlock any premium rewards you’ve already unlocked + still work towards the other rewards, if you have any left.
