Can you play League of Legends on Xbox?

When League of Legends released on mobile, with Wild Rift, Riot Games saw to change some aspects in the game to fit the mobile controls as best as possible. However, seeking to force League of Legends to adapt to a console system will require a lot of fundamentals to change. For example, the isometric perspective of the camera would be subject to change for players on console to be able to move smoothly. Although there are some MOBAs available on consoles, like SMITE, these games are usually third-person which cuts short a lot of the controlling problem.

The problem with adapting a game like League of Legends to consoles is not just about changing control schemes. You need to make sure that console players get the same stuff and experience as PC players—updates, nerfs, buffs, and balance patches in general all need to mirror the experience of PC players. This is an intricate job that takes time and effort towards a goal that is already… pointless to some extent. I mean, League of Legends isn’t exactly the most inaccessible or demanding game.

However, this doesn’t eliminate every possibility for League of Legends to be on Xbox at some point. After all, Riot Games is rumored to be working on a VALORANT port for consoles. This leads us to believe that if a League of Legends Xbox port exists, the developers aren’t exactly in a rush to ship it, as their hands are probably pretty full for now.

While the prospect of playing League of Legends on Xbox remains a distant dream for now, it's essential to stay tuned to official announcements from Riot Games. The gaming industry is not a static one. Game developers are always looking for ways to expand their player base and increase the accessibility of their games—Riot Games should be no exception to that rule.
