Game Pass will also offer perks for Riot’s mobile games
Riot Games are joining Game Pass next week, bringing free-to-play games includingValorantandLeague Of Legendswith the benefit of having all characters unlocked. Other games will have other perks on Game Pass, including Riot’s mobile games—a novelty for Game Pass. Sadly this offering does not include Riot’s paid games, like the League spin-off RPG Ruined King. Read on for more details on what Riot are bringing to Game Pass.
Riot first announced Game Pass plansin June, and today they detailed ‘em. On Monday the 12th of December, these Riot games will join Game Pass: Valorant, their ‘Counter-Strike with wizards’ first-person shooter; League Of Legends, the MOBA that made their name;Legends Of Runeterra, the LoL spin-off card game;Teamfight Tactics, the League spin-off autobattler; andLeague Of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile version of League.
All these games are free-to-play, so what your Game Pass sub will get you is instant access to in-game bits which are usually unlocked by effort or money (in some cases, lots of money). These only last as long as you’re subscribed to Game Pass, obvs. Here’s what each will offer:
Because the process involves linking Game Pass and Riot accounts, the mobile versions of Runeterra and TFT will also benefit from these perks. League Of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile-only version of the MOBA, will also offer Game Pass perks, though these will start in January, not next week.
It is interesting to see Game Pass dabble in bonus bits for mobile games. Makes sense.
