2XKO Season 1 Arrives on Console Amid Extended Downtime
Riot Games announced the exact timing for 2XKO Season 1: PC and consoles go live around 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Jan 20, 2026, with a lengthy maintenance window from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT that day. If you’ve logged in before, you can still play offline during the outage. Caitlyn joins Season 1’s roster, and Riot plans five seasons in 2026 with one new fighter roughly every two months, aiming for 16 champions by year’s end. The existing roster includes Ahri, Blitzcrank, Braum, Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, Jinx, Teemo, Vi, Warwick, and Yasuo; some champs are free in online modes while others require purchase, and offline trials remain available.
