2XKO Closed Beta Arrives in September 2025 — Here's How to Register

Ever since Riot Games stepped into the world of competitive shooters with Valorant, they’ve made it clear that their ambitions didn’t stop there. One of their most anticipated ventures is their first foray into the fighting game genre—a title originally codenamed Project L, now officially known as 2XKO.

As excitement continues to grow, Riot is pushing forward with the development of this tag-team fighter, aiming to balance hardcore competitive depth with accessibility for casual players. With those goals in mind, Riot is launching the next major milestone: the 2XKO closed beta, coming this September 2025.

📝 How to Sign Up for the Closed Beta

Riot is transitioning from limited internal playtests to a broader beta phase. Here’s how to get in:

1. Visit the official 2XKO website.
2. On the homepage, look for the “Closed Beta” tab and click it.
3. You’ll be prompted to sign in or create a Riot Games account.
4. Once logged in, confirm your personal info — if everything checks out, you’ll be automatically registered for the beta.

✅ Important Note: If you participated in a previous alpha test, you’re already pre-registered and don’t need to sign up again.

📅 Beta Details: Start Date, Platform, and What to Expect

• Start Date: September 9, 2025
• End Date: No official end date has been announced
• Platform: PC only (for now)

While console players may be disappointed, Riot has confirmed that any progression made during this beta will carry over to future console betas and even to the game’s full release.

This test is primarily aimed at evaluating Riot’s backend infrastructure—with a specific focus on features like rollback netcode and how it performs under heavy load.

🎮 Playable Characters in the Beta

The closed beta will include all previously revealed fighters, as well as the newly announced Vi, a fan-favorite from League of Legends and the Arcane Netflix series.

Confirmed characters so far:

• Ekko
• Ahri
• Yasuo
• Braum
• Atriox
• Illaoi
• Jinx
• Vi (new addition)

📬 Watch Your Inbox (and Spam Folder)

Beta codes will be sent out gradually, starting now and continuing until the launch date. Riot hasn’t specified when codes will go out, so be sure to check your spam or junk folder regularly—beta emails have a habit of ending up there.
