Back in June, Xbox announced that they would be partnering with video game giant Riot Games, which would include Riot titles as part of the Xbox Game Pass. Today, Xbox revealed that the games are finally coming to the Game Pass come December 12.
While the idea of adding free games to the Xbox Game Pass may sound confusing, subscribers will actually get in-game benefits rather than the games themselves. Riot’s games are only currently playable on PC and/or mobile devices (depending on the game), so keep that in mind.
Here’s what you can expect to receive upon connecting your Riot account with your Xbox Game Pass account:
Valorant
- All current Agents
- Access to every new Agent as soon as they’re released
- 20% Match XP boost given to Battle Pass, Event Pass, and active Agent Contract progress
League of Legends
- All 160+ champions
- Access to every new champion as soon as they’re released
- 20% XP boost
Legends of Runeterra
- All cards in Foundations Set
Teamfight Tactics
- 1-Star Rare Little Legend Tacticians
- 4 Arena Skins available until April 2023, and 1 Arena Skin that’s on a monthly rotation thereafter
League of Legends: Wild Rift (coming in January) unlocked benefits include:
- All 80+ champions
- Day-one access to every new champion as they’re released
- 20% XP boost
Plus, as an added benefit, players who link their accounts before January 1, 2023 will receive even more bonus rewards from Riot:
- Valorant – Pocket Sage Buddy
- League of Legends – Masterwork Chest and Key
- Teamfight Tactics – Little Legend Rare Egg
- Wild Rift – Random Emote Chest
- Legends of Runeterra – Prismatic Chest
Note that linking your accounts before the end of 2022 will nab you some extra goodies. You’ll be able to link your Game Pass and Riot accounts when the games join the pass this December 12.
