Ever since Riot ventured into the shooter genre withValorant,they have been vocal about venturing into the fighting game genre as well. Previously titledProject L,2XKOis giving Riot Games the momentum they need to make a standout tag team fighter.
2XKOis known by many who have followed fighting games closely for a long time now.Riot has been making sure this is the best game they can possibly release, and they want it to deliver a high level of competition while staying accessible to casual players. With that sentiment in mind, they are ready to begin the next steps to ensure that this game is ready for its eventual release. Here ishow to register for the newly announced closed beta for2XKOin September 2025.
How to Register for the New 2XKO Closed Beta
2XKOhas been active with closed playtests, and Riot isready to move the game to a beta state. To register for it, go to the main website for2XKO, and you will see a tab on the home page for the closed beta. Upon clicking this tab, you will be directed to sign in to or create a Riot Games account if you are not already signed in to one. As you confirm your personal information and make sure it matches your account info, you will automatically be registered for the closed beta.
The start date for this beta is September 9, and there isno confirmed end date. The goal of this is to test the back-end maintenance systems Riot plans to use for2XKO, ensuring that things like rollback net code perform optimally under high levels of player stress. Due to its unorthodox nature, this closed beta will only be available on PC.
While that may be upsetting to some, you will be able to carry your progression over to consoles if any future betas are announced, and then to the full release down the road. In the past, there was alsoa closed alpha test available on consoles and PC. If you partook in this alpha test, you are already pre-registered for this beta.
There are no specific dates when codes are likely to be sent out, so they are likely to be released sporadically between now and the beta start date of September 9. Be sure to check your spam/junk folders, as emails containing the codes are known to show up there instead of in your main inbox.
This closed beta will featureall previously announced characters, along with the newly announced characterVi, recently recognizable from the hit Netflix seriesArcane. The previously listed available characters are:
