Riot Games, known for popular titles like League of Legends, is gearing up to launch its debut console fighting game, 2XKO. This new game features a lineup of characters from the League of Legends MOBA universe engaging in combat in a fresh fighting game experience.
While 2XKO has been available in early access on PC since October 2025, it is now set for its console debut. This move marks Riot’s expansion to the console market, offering gamers the opportunity to delve into their renowned game worlds on a new platform.
The highly anticipated release of 2XKO will be simultaneous worldwide, including in the UK, scheduled for 1 am on January 21, 2026. Fans eager to join the action at launch will need to stay up late, with the game becoming downloadable as soon as they wake up the following morning.
Unfortunately, there is no pre-loading option for 2XKO on Xbox or PlayStation stores. Gamers will have to wait until the official release time to kick off the download, so plan for some download time if preparing to play with friends online.
Unlike some large games, 2XKO has a modest storage requirement. On PC, the minimum storage needed is 8GB, with an actual install size around 5GB. The console version is expected to have similar specifications. With an average internet speed of 200mbps, players can anticipate a quick download process, with 2XKO ready to play in under five minutes.
2XKO boasts both crossplay and cross-progression features, enabling players to engage with others across different platforms such as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Progress and unlocks will seamlessly transfer across devices as long as players use the same Riot account on each platform.
