Registering for the Closed Beta of 2XKO in September 2025

Riot Games, known for stepping into the shooter genre with Valorant, has expressed its interest in also creating a fighting game. Previously referred to as Project L, the newly named 2XKO is gaining traction as Riot aims to deliver a remarkable tag team fighting experience.

2XKO has caught the attention of dedicated fighting game enthusiasts. Riot is committed to making this game the best it can be, with a focus on providing both competitive depth and accessibility for new players. With this objective in mind, they are preparing for the next phases leading up to its eventual launch. Here’s how you can sign up for the newly announced closed beta for 2XKO set for September 2025.

How to Register for the New 2XKO Closed Beta

2XKO has been undergoing closed testing, and Riot is now ready to take the game into a beta phase. To register, visit the official 2XKO website, where a tab for the closed beta will be readily available on the homepage. Clicking this tab will prompt you to either log in or set up a Riot Games account if you aren’t already logged in. By verifying and aligning your personal details with your account information, you will automatically enroll in the closed beta.

The beta is scheduled to start on September 9, with no specific end date confirmed. This testing phase aims to evaluate the backend maintenance systems Riot intends to utilize for 2XKO, ensuring that functions like rollback net code perform efficiently even under high player engagement. This closed beta will exclusively be accessible on PC.

While some may find this PC-only option disappointing, rest assured that any progress made will transfer to console versions should further betas arise and eventually to the full game release. There was a closed alpha test for both consoles and PC previously, and if you participated, you are already pre-registered for the upcoming beta.

There is no fixed schedule for when access codes will be distributed; hence, they may be sent out sporadically in the lead-up to the beta launch on September 9. Be sure to check your spam/junk folders, as emails containing these codes may inadvertently land there.

This closed beta will include all previously revealed characters, in addition to the recently announced character Vi, recognized from the popular Netflix series Arcane. The confirmed characters available in the beta include:
