2XKO Alpha Lab 2 Opens, Changes Incoming

By Kevin KellyApril 19, 2025

Riot Games’ 2XKO Alpha Lab is back with exciting updates from Clock and the Riot Games development team. The long-awaited fighter’s Alpha Lab 2 opened yesterday. One of the standout additions is Jinx, a central character from the Arcane series. Jinx brings zoner-based abilities, leveraging her affinity for firearms. The update also includes costumes, battle pass items, and 8,500 free KO Points to use in the in-game store, allowing players to try out some of the new features. While KO Cosmetics is not included in this update, they are expected to be added at a later date.

To access the lab, players who received a link from Riot Games likely also received a code. If you participated in the original Alpha Lab last year, you are likely already invited and do not need to redeem a code. Redownloading the game will initiate the update for the 2XKO beta. Currently, the beta is only available in the USA, Canada, and Brazil.

For more info on what’s been added, head over to the Riot Games website.

2XKO Alpha Lab 2 is accessible until April 20th and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
