Riot Games announced their inclusion in Game Pass in an unexpected surprise at the outset of today’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. Owners of the Game Pass will soon have access to the realms of several Riot games, including League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra. This crossover will be published this winter for both PC and mobile, according to the trailer, though Microsoft did not provide a timeframe. In the coming months, further material is expected to be released.
Through Game Pass, players of each game will enjoy plentiful bonuses. These bonuses will help players get a head start in all Riot titles and quickly give them the chance to explore all that these games have to offer.
Game Pass owners will have all champions unlocked in League of Legends and Wild Rift. This includes the most recent champion to release in League, Bel’Veth, though players should be aware that Wild Rift’s cast of characters is much smaller.
VALORANT players will have all agents unlocked with Game Pass, allowing them to bypass the grind of every agent’s contract. It is unclear if players will also receive all the rewards associated with completing the contracts.
In Legends of Runeterra, players will unlock the Foundations set for free. Meanwhile, in Teamfight Tactics, players will get a selection of unlocked Little Legends to play as, though specifics are not yet known.
More information on this collaboration between Riot and Game Pass is expected to be revealed as the year continues. The games and bonuses are expected to release this winter for PC and mobile.
