Spoils of war
If you’re unsure how to go about linking your accounts, Riot Games hasposted a comprehensive guideto both the partnership and how to link accounts. Once you do, you’ll be able to access in-game swag for the following games when they arrive on Game Pass:
Mobile game League of Legends: Wild Rift is one of the first mobile games to be offered on Game Pass, but just because it’s on a different platform doesn’t mean you wont get your free stuff. Players will be getting all current and future characters pre-unlocked.
Similarly for League of Legends players, you’ll have all 160-odd champions unlocked and an XP buffer to boot.
Valorant players who link their Riot and Game Pass accounts will also find all playable heroes unlocked. You’ll get 20 percent more XP toward your progress in the event pass, battle pass, and Agent progress. Speaking of Agents, you’ll also get every future character unlocked from day one of release, meaning this is one gift that will just keep on giving.
