2XKO closed beta test start date revealed
By Marco Wutz
Riot Games announced a closed beta test for its upcoming fighting game, 2XKO. The test will begin on September 9, 2025, and will be available on PC. All players who participated in prior tests – regardless of platform – will automatically gain access to the coming test, while anyone else can sign up on the official website.
It looks like Riot is treating this closed beta as a soft launch for the game, stating its intention “to keep the game online, outside of any necessary maintenance. This is a huge step for us. We’ll be deploying our backend systems at a larger scale for the first time, so things might be bumpy at first, but we’ll improve as we go.”
Riot confirmed that cross-progression will be enabled once the game is available on additional platforms, so anyone starting out on PC will be able to switch without losing anything.
In addition, the studio announced the latest fighter to join the title’s line-up: Vi, the character famous for playing a main role in the Arcane anime, will make her debut in the closed beta. Visitors of EVO 2025, the grand annual fighting game tournament, can try her out at Riot’s exhibition booth as well.
