As a seasoned gamer who has been through the rollercoaster of waiting for games to be released across various platforms, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and apprehension regarding Riot’s upcoming title, 2XKO.


The game adopts a 2vs2 team-fighting structure, incorporating tag-team mechanics where you and another player can engage in combat against another duo. It boasts a distinctive artistic design and controls that Riot Games characterizes as “easy to grasp initially, but offers depth for skilled players.”

In the upcoming launch, 2XKO will be accessible without charge across multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, a platform where many of Riot’s games have previously been introduced is also on the horizon: mobile devices. Let’s delve into the details we currently have about the mobile release of this game.

Everything We Know About 2XKO’s Potential Release On Mobile

Currently, there’s no information from Riot about bringing the game 2XKO to mobile platforms. It seems they are focusing on releasing it exclusively for PC and popular gaming consoles, as they aim to make their games as optimized and refined as possible. Unfortunately, this means mobile users, specifically Android and iOS device owners, will not have access to the game at this time, with the exception of current and future console generations.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of worry upon hearing the news of Riot’s layoffs in early 2024, which resulted in a global team reduction of 11%. With roughly 530 roles being eliminated, there’s a growing concern that this could potentially impact the release of the much-anticipated game, 2XKO, on mobile devices.

Even if you’re feeling down right now, remember that Riot Games has a knack for creating engaging games designed for smaller screens like Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics. So, hang in there!

Other fighting games in the same genre like Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice 2 share similar game mechanics, so it’s feasible that 2XKO could follow suit and become available on mobile devices. If this happens, you can anticipate that playing 2XKO on a mobile platform would be free of charge, just like it will be on other platforms.

2XKO’s official launch date hasn’t been announced yet as of this writing. However, there are many who believe it might debut during the summer season of 2025. Riot Games has been actively conducting open playtests, with the initial alpha test initiated in August, limited to certain regions at first.
