In the past, Riot Games has demonstrated that they are willing to extend betas until they are satisfied with their product. This rings true with the Valorant beta tests for both PC and consoles. The closed beta for Valorant on PC was available from April 7, 2020 – May 28, 2020; a few days before the official release date of June 2, 2020. For 2XKO, however, August 8, 2024 – August 19, 2024 is the only period players can enjoy the fighter as of now.

2XKO is set to release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
