2XKO

2XKO is a phenomenal free-to-play fighting game that balances impressive depth with accessible tutorials that ease newcomers in rather than overwhelm them.

2XKO is a fun arcade fighter and a great introduction to the genre for newcomers. The Fuse tag-team mechanics offer a fresh take on the existing formula and provide plenty of strategic depth, whether you’re playing alone or with a friend. Match and lobby creation is seamless, even when playing cross-platform. The free-to-play model doesn’t restrict access to major content. Everything can be unlocked by playing; it just takes longer to unlock characters this way. However, if you enjoy playing it as much as I do, spending time on it won’t be an issue. If you want to try out 2XKO, it’s available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Riot Games knows how to turn a great game into a competitive powerhouse, and this time it uses the League of Legends universe as the foundation for a charismatic and visually spectacular fighting game.

2XKO arrives on the market with a clear proposition: to introduce a more accessible team-based fighting game without sacrificing competitive depth. By eliminating traditional motion inputs and adopting a simplified system as standard, in addition to being free-to-play, the title reduces barriers to entry and invites new players to experience the genre. At the same time, mechanics such as the different types of Fuse, the emphasis on the 2v2 format, and advanced training tools show that there is real room for technical evolution and a high level of competitiveness.

Riot makes its console debut with 2XKO, kicking off Season 1 and the full release of its new fighting game. Predictably, the title adopts a standard live-service structure, featuring a Battle Pass, in-game currencies to unlock characters—provided you're willing to grind—and a cosmetic shop with rather steep prices. On the flip side, however, is a fighter with a rock-solid combat system and an excellent roster that makes every online match incredibly rewarding, thanks in part to its high-tier rollback netcode. The real question remains whether the game can attract and retain a large enough audience to sustain future updates. 2XKO falls into that 'easy to learn, hard to master' category—a trait that has historically alienated a significant portion of the casual player base.

So, is 2XKO worth playing? If you're into competitive fighters and don’t mind a free-to-play model with some heavy-handed monetization, then yes. This is a solid, well-built brawler. But without singleplayer content and with key characters locked behind paywalls, it leaves casual players out in the cold.

An extremely solid tag team fighting game that’s bound to become even more impressive over time, assuming it can sort out its launch performance problems.

There’s a lot of love and effort putting in 2XKO, the art style and art design is just awesome work of art, every character looks so cool, each have special behavior and fighting style, I will not tell it’s perfect because it needs alot of adjustments and fixes on PS5 console still I love the idea of League of Legends fighting game and I’m excited to see all the seasons coming, keep improving it and it will be amazing game!

Great fighting game by riot. Free to play with optional cosmetics. I recommend it.

The first fight not showing you the inputs to double down during the double down super demo was a poor choice. However that's a one off. The screen tearing on PS5 is next level unacceptable and game breaking to me. Absolutely terrible, shouldn't have launched if it can't even do the bare basics of render the screen and characters without breaking. A distinct lack of single player content doesn't make it any more appealing.

Puxa, queria tanto ter gostado desse jogo. Mas achei poucos personagens, achei caro pra liberar novos personagens, não entendi muito bem como funciona a economia e tudo mais. Fiquei triste. O jogo é legalzinho mas era pra ser um jogo maravilhoso.

Currently, screen tearing is VERY bad on PS5 and it really impacts the experience negatively. The graphics are surprisingly bland and character models look pretty rough and cheap when displayed up close. This lack of polish in the game’s presentation doesn’t do the seemingly simplistic gameplay any favors. The game may have potential but, on PS5 at least, it needs a lot of work still.
