2XKO Closed Beta: Start Date, Roster, Sign-Up Info & More

Riot Games is stepping into the fighting game arena with 2XKO, their League of Legends-inspired 2v2 brawler — and the Closed Beta is finally locked in! With a small but powerful roster of champions, players can now sign up to get hands-on with Riot’s latest title before full release.

Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know 👇

📅 2XKO Closed Beta Release Date

The Closed Beta for 2XKO officially kicks off on September 9, 2025 — and it’s here to stay. This won’t be a short demo or timed test; once it goes live, the servers will remain up permanently throughout the beta period.

💻 Platform:The beta will be PC-only at launch, but console support is on the way. Even better: 2XKO features cross-progression, so you’ll be able to switch platforms later without losing your progress.

🦾 Vi Joins the Fight — Full Beta Roster Revealed

With the announcement of Vi joining the lineup, the launch roster is set at 8 champions — each bringing a distinct playstyle rooted in their League of Legends origins.

Here’s who you’ll be able to brawl with in the Closed Beta:

• 🦊 Ahri
• ❄️ Braum
• 🛡️ Darius
• ⏱️ Ekko
• 🐙 Illaoi
• 🌬️ Yasuo
• 🔫 Jinx
• 👊 Vi

While Jinx was unveiled just before Vi, most players haven’t tried her out yet — especially since Alpha Lab 2 had a much smaller testing pool than Lab 1. If you're curious, her gameplay footage is already making waves online 📹.

🎯 What’s Next for 2XKO?

With the beta going live in September and an exciting roster already confirmed, 2XKO is one step closer to its full launch. As Riot’s first fighting game, expectations are high — but early impressions and character reveals are generating strong hype.
