2XKO GLOBAL CLOSED BETA CONFIRMED FOR SEPTEMBER 2025

Riot Games Announces Details for Upcoming Closed Beta and Reveals New Playable Champion Ahead of Evo Las Vegas

LOS ANGELES, CA – July 22, 2025 – Riot Games revealed details for an upcoming Closed Beta
for 2XKO – the anticipated 2v2 tag-based fighting game set in the League of Legends Runeterra
universe. Starting September 9, 2025, the 2XKO Closed Beta will be available to fighting game
fans around the world on Windows PC, followed by future availability on PlayStation 5, Xbox
Series S and X at a later date. The game will fully support cross-platform progression, as well as
cross-platform inventory, allowing players to start on PC and then switch over to a preferred
console platform once available with no lapse in progress or inventory.
Once the 2XKO Closed Beta starts on September 9, Riot plans to keep the game online and
servers running through launch.

Existing 2XKO fans that played the game’s earlier public play tests, Alpha Lab 1 and/or 2, on PC
or console platforms will automatically have access to the 2XKO Closed Beta on PC. Newer
global players can join throughout the beta by signing up at 2xko.riotgames.com/beta.

Additionally, Riot Games announced they’ll be bringing a brand new playable champion to the
Evo showfloor in Las Vegas, taking place August 1-3. League of Legends and Arcane
fan-favorite champion “Vi” will be playable in the 2XKO booth at Evo, and will also be available
to play in the 2XKO Closed Beta.

2XKO is Riot Games’ upcoming free-to-play 2v2 team-based fighting game, set in a uniquely
modern expression of League of Legends’ Runeterra. With new innovation and support of the
full fighting game ecosystem, 2XKO is built to satisfy the most passionate players in the fighting
game community (FGC) and reach players who are new to the genre.
