In June 2022, Riot Games announced during the Xbox Showcase that League of Legends and four other players would be coming to the Xbox Game Pass. Now, there is a release date set for later this year.
When is LoL coming to the Game Pass? The Xbox Game Pass release of LoL is on December 12, 2022, so it will take place this year.
When the Game Pass release of LoL and four other games from Riot Games was announced at the Xbox Showcase, no date was known at that time.
Game Pass saves you a lot of gaming time
What advantage does this bring? Newcomers have a significant advantage through the Xbox Game Pass release, for which players had to play for months or even years. Each game receives different bonuses.
In League of Legends, all champions are unlocked for “Xbox Game Pass” players right from the start. You can also use new champions like K’Sante, who combines tank and damage roles, right at release.
This saves you hundreds of hours of grind or a lot of money, as you would need over 600,000 Blue Essence or over 130,000 Riot Points (around 700 Euros) for all champions. However, the exact price is difficult to determine, as there are always discount promotions, bundles, and price adjustments for older champions.
Not only LoL players benefit from the Game Pass
What advantages are there in the other games? Not only League of Legends players will benefit from a subscription to the Xbox Game Pass in the future. Fans of Valorant, Legends of Runterra, LoL: Wild Rift, and Teamfight Tactics can also look forward to some advantages.
- In Valorant, you unlock all agents. This also includes new characters that will be released in the future.
- In League of Legends: Wild Rift, you get access to all champions.
- In the card game Legends of Runeterra, you unlock the base decks.
- In Teamfight Tactics, you get access to a rotation of “Little Legends”, the avatars in the game.
The games will also celebrate their release in Microsoft’s subscription service on December 12, 2022.
Are there any disadvantages in the games? Not really. As a newcomer, you save a lot of money or hundreds of hours of gaming time across the various titles. Even players with over a hundred hours can benefit from the subscription and save some hours of grind.
The only downside is that you can only take advantage of the benefits as long as you have the Game Pass subscription.
