Riot Games’ free-to-play fighting game 2XKO officially left early access and kicked off Season 1 in January 2026. After months of PC early access, the game is now fully live on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, bringing League of Legends champions to tag-team brawls in 2-versus-2 action.
League of Legends 2V2 Chaos
In 2XKO, players pick two champions from the League roster, tag between them mid-match, and use unique abilities and tags to outplay opponents. Riot is planning three main seasons for 2026, each with new champions, battle passes, and cosmetic lines like Arcade, Bee!, and Heartseeker. The first big addition this season is Caitlyn, who adds long-range strategy with her rifle and traps.
Early Feedback: Fun With a Side of Bugs
Even though the game’s core combat and tag mechanics are getting praise, some players — especially on PS5 — have pointed out performance problems like screen tearing, FPS drops, and crashes at launch. While early access gave PC players a head start, console users are calling for patches to fix these hiccups. This mixed reception is common with big launches, and Riot is expected to roll out updates quickly.
What’s on the horizon for 2XKO?
Competitive players already have tier lists and champion rankings circulating online as the Season 1 meta takes shape, and cross-platform play keeps queues full for casual and ranked games alike. Riot’s roadmap also includes a 2026 Competitive Series, turning 2XKO into a legit contender in the fighting game scene. Whether 2XKO becomes a long-term favorite or just a fun experiment, its unique tag-team formula and live content support make it one of 2026’s most interesting fighting games.
