As of 2025, League of Legends hasn’t made its way natively onto Xbox consoles. But if you’re a console gamer itching to dive into the Rift, don’t unplug your controller just yet – there are ways to get a taste of the League universe.
Can You Play League of Legends on Xbox?
The original PC version of League of Legends, with its full-blown 5v5 Summoner’s Rift gameplay, isn’t available on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One. Riot Games hasn’t released a direct console version – yet. So, no, you won’t be installing classic LoL on your Xbox anytime soon.
But don’t walk away – because that’s not the whole story.
Enter: Wild Rift – League’s Console-Ready Cousin
Wild Rift is Riot’s reimagined take on League, designed for mobile and adapted for consoles. And yes, Xbox is on that list. Riot has officially confirmed it’s working on bringing Wild Rift to consoles following its mobile success.
What to Expect from Wild Rift on Xbox:
A streamlined user interface built for controller support
Quicker matches – roughly 12 to 15 minutes each
Smooth cross-platform matchmaking with fellow console players
Visual enhancements tailored for TV screens and larger displays
It’s not on Xbox just yet, but Wild Rift’s console debut is in active development. So keep your eyes peeled – it’s coming.
Streaming Classic League to Xbox: A Workaround
Desperate to play the original League on your TV? There’s a workaround. Using Xbox’s Remote Play or cloud gaming services (like Nvidia GeForce NOW or even browser-based platforms on Xbox), you can stream the PC version.
That said, don’t expect pinpoint accuracy or ultra-low latency. It works for casual fun, but if you’re chasing ranked glory, you’re better off sticking with a mouse and keyboard.
No, classic League isn’t on Xbox. Yes, Wild Rift is coming – and soon. And yes, with a few tricks, you can stream it. Not perfect, but it’s a start.
