On May 26, 2026, HP Inc. announced the HyperX OMEN 16 VALORANT Limited Edition — the first VALORANT-branded laptop from the ongoing HP and Riot Games collaboration. Designed for competitive play, the machine pairs performance-grade hardware with aesthetics pulled directly from the VALORANT universe, including custom colorways, keyboard accents, and hidden Easter eggs that fans will recognise from the game.
This is the third co-release in the partnership, following the OMEN 35L VALORANT Limited Edition desktop and the OMEN 16 League of Legends Limited Edition laptop, both from 2025. Pre-orders are open at HP.com at a starting price of $3,049.99. For a look at how other premium hardware is shaping up in 2026, see Giganectar’s coverage of the Sony A7R VI and the Google Googlebook laptop.
