2XKO Console & Season 1 Release Date Leaked Again
▼ Summary
– Riot Games accidentally leaked the Season 1 release date for 2XKO via a prematurely posted trailer, which was later made private.
– The game will leave early access and launch fully on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on January 20, 2026, enabling cross-save and cross-platform play.
– The new champion Caitlyn will be added to the game with the Season 1 update, marking a rare element that hasn’t been leaked previously.
– The Season 1 update will include balance updates for the entire roster, though other new features and content remain unknown.
– The game has experienced multiple leaks in the past, including data-mined information about Teemo and an early trailer for Warwick.
PC players have already spent several months exploring the world of 2XKO, and a recent slip-up by Riot Games has now revealed when console players can finally join the fight. An official trailer, briefly posted and then quickly made private on YouTube, appears to have confirmed the exact launch date for the game’s first season. This leak provides the clearest timeline yet for the transition out of early access.
The trailer’s end card clearly states that the League of Legends fighting game will officially launch on January 20, 2026. This date marks the moment 2XKO leaves early access and becomes available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, joining the existing PC version. Crucially, this full launch will finally introduce cross-save and cross-platform play across all systems, a highly anticipated feature for the community.
While the trailer didn’t reveal extensive new details about the full launch’s content, it did confirm one major addition. Caitlyn will be the new champion joining the roster with Season 1, and it is widely assumed she will debut on that same January 20 date. This development is notable because, compared to other characters, Caitlyn’s inclusion has remained surprisingly leak-free.
The game has experienced a series of unintended early reveals. Previously, data miners uncovered Teemo before his official announcement, and Riot itself accidentally published Warwick’s reveal trailer ahead of schedule. This makes Caitlyn a rare exception in the game’s history of premature disclosures.
Beyond the new champion, players can expect the Season 1 update to deliver new balance updates for the entire roster. The specifics of these adjustments, along with any other new features, modes, or content, will likely be detailed by Riot as the 2026 launch date approaches. For now, the community has a firm date to mark on their calendars for the game’s multi-platform debut.
