Riot Games and Xbox have now officially joined forces. Riot’s extended multiplayer gaming catalog of League of Legends, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics<\/em>, and VALORANT<\/em> is coming to the massively growing Game Pass service, the companies announced today.<\/p>
Players who connect an active Game Pass account to a Riot account will receive a huge amount of premium rewards and member-only benefits beginning on Monday, Dec. 12. The biggest draw is the free unlocking of the entire roster of characters (champions and agents) for League, VALORANT, <\/em>and Wild Rift<\/em> (although Wild Rift<\/em> benefits won’t be available until January 2023). But it’s noted in the FAQ section of the press release that purchasing champion skins in League<\/em> or Wild Rift<\/em> also requires a “separate purchase of the champion.”<\/p>
Players will also receive day one access to new characters as soon as they are released, in a similar vein to how Game Pass users will receive new Microsoft-published titles on day one. Additionally, players in all three titles will get a permanent 20 percent XP boost.<\/p>
TFT<\/em> players will unlock one-star Rare Little Legend Tacticians and four Arena skins that are available until April 2023, followed by one Arena Skin on a monthly rotation thereafter. LoR<\/em> players will unlock all cards in the Foundation<\/em> sets. Additionally, players who connect a Riot account to an Xbox profile can receive an extra in-game reward in each of the five games.<\/p>
Naturally, players playing these Riot titles will need to have an active Game Pass subscription to receive the benefits. Players need only a PC Game Pass or an Ultimate Game Pass subscription.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
