Every year, Riot Games releases VALORANT Flashback, an official year-in-review experience that gives players a personalized breakdown of their Competitive performance. Flashback transforms your 2025 ranked grind into a clean, shareable recap packed with stats, playstyle insights, and comparisons.
What Is VALORANT Flashback?
VALORANT Flashback is the game’s official seasonal recap that summarizes your performance for the entire year. This year, it also includes global fun facts such as how many times Phoenix flashed a teammate, which region FF’s the most, and more.
Once available, players can visit the Flashback website, enter their Riot ID and tagline, and instantly generate a visual slideshow of their 2025 stats, as well as share it on social media. Unlike stat-tracking websites that update live, Flashback is a once-a-year snapshot. It pulls from Riot’s internal Competitive match databases and presents a curated summary of your year. Importantly, Unrated, Deathmatch, Swiftplay, and custom games do not count, only standard 5v5 Competitive matches are included.

What Stats Does VALORANT Flashback Show?
Flashback breaks your data into four major statistical layers and an encore, each focusing on a different perspective of your year:
Overall V5 Stats
This year’s V5 stats talk about fun facts, such as how many times Cypher has died worldwide in ranked, how many times people brought armor in the pistol round or a Vandal in the anti-eco, and more. These are general stats that appear to be the same for everyone.
Global Comparisons
This section places different regions globally and compares their performance in various fields such as aiming, being able to play without hitting the /FF (Surrender) option, how often the 9-3 curse comebacks ring true, and more.
In terms of raw aim, North America was ranked the highest, while in terms of mental and not surrendering, it was Asia Pacific to come out on top. Brazil was the region with the most players instalocking agents for instance.

Your Stack (Friends You Queue With)
Flashback also highlights your most common teammates. This is where you’ll see who you win with the most, who you support best, and which duos actually work.
You can also share these as either “Boasts” or “Roasts” this year, with the former being positive stats about who you win with the most or who has the best aim in your squad, while the latter is stuff like who you lose with the most, who has the worst aim, and more.
Your Individual Contribution
Here, Flashback isolates how you perform in your games. It tells you your best and worst agents, which agent you’ve killed the most as well as died to the most, and more.
It also shows your top and worst weapons, your first bloods and clutch stats, whether you’re the entry fragger, clutch player, planter, or late-round cleaner when playing with your usual teammates.
Encore Section
Finally, Flashback tells you which pro you play the most like, and this time, the list features not just VCT professionals but also Game Changers and Challengers players, and recommends content creators as well for you to check out depending on your playstyle.
This seemingly differs for everyone, with folks getting a variety of players from around the world.

Why Your Stack Stats Might Not Appear
One of the most common issues players run into is missing stack data. Riot only generates stack-related stats if you meet specific conditions. To trigger stack results, you must have played at least five Competitive matches with two different people from your friends list. If you mostly play solo queue or only duo with one person, Flashback simply doesn’t have enough eligible data to generate reliable stack insights.
Additionally, all stack data comes strictly from Competitive matches only. Even if you played dozens of Unrated games with friends, they will not count toward Flashback stack tracking. If your stack section is missing, the most likely cause is insufficient Competitive games with multiple friends.
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
If your Flashback seems incomplete or inaccurate, there are a few things to check. First, make sure you’re entering the correct Riot ID and tagline, including any name changes you may have made during 2025. Many missing profiles are simply caused by outdated Riot IDs being entered.
Second, remember that Flashback is designed to be a fun recap, not a tournament-grade stat database. Some advanced metrics don’t appear, and micro-details like per-round economy efficiency or utility damage aren’t shown. For deeper analysis, third-party trackers are still the better option, but Flashback remains the cleanest official snapshot of your year.
VALORANT Flashback is Riot’s way of turning your ranked journey into a shareable story, as well as looking at global tendencies this year. It highlights your strengths, exposes your bad encounters too this year, and shows how you stack up globally and with friends. Whether you climbed to Radiant or spent the year locked in Gold, Flashback gives you a clean record of the grind and who you’re doing it with, and maybe a little motivation heading into the next season.
