Riot Games is laying off half of the 2XKO development team
"As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO,"
"The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasn't reached the level needed to support a team of this size long term."
Riot Games is cutting about 80 people from 2XKO, roughly half of its global development team. The cuts follow the game's expansion from PC to console, which revealed consistent trends in player engagement. The game resonated with a passionate core audience but overall momentum did not reach levels needed to support a team of this size long term. The console launch occurred last month. Plans for the 2026 competitive season remain unchanged. Riot will attempt to place impacted employees into other positions within the company where possible.
