Riot Games is finally available on the Xbox Game Pass. With a Game Pass membership and Riot Account, one can unlock amazing rewards and member-only benefits.

Riot Games has developed some of the most popular games in the world, beginning with League of Legends. The studio has since released massive titles like Valorant and a mobile version of League of Legends.

Any Xbox Game Pass subscriber who plays any or all of these games on their PC can now get some big benefits, thanks to the partnership between Xbox and Riot Games.

Follow the instructions given below to link your Riot Games account to your Xbox Game Pass account:

Step 1: Download and install the Xbox app on your PC and log in with the correct credentials. Make sure you have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which is mandatory to unlock the perks.

Step 2: Open the app and select any of the games on which the offer is applicable (League of Legends and Valorant for PC players).

Step 3: Create a Riot Games account. If you already have a pre-existing account, this step will take less time, and all you will have to do is log in with the correct credentials.

Step 4: Once the two accounts are linked, a notification will show a confirmation message. All perks should now be unlocked instantly. However, it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for them to get unlocked.
