2XKO’s first alpha test drops on Aug. 8, and you won’t know if you were one of the few lucky souls to be accepted into it until later on in the day.
You aren’t guaranteed a spot to try the game even if you signed up for the 2XKO alpha lab. Riot Games is only allowing a small pool of players and content creators from Aug. 8 to 19, and you need to wait for an email late into Aug. 8 to know if you have been accepted.
But when do the emails drop?
What times do 2XKO alpha lab keys drop?
If you got accepted into 2XKO’s alpha lab, you should get an email with your key at 2pm CT/3pm EST.
Only a few regions are taking alpha testers, with the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico the only countries getting access keys. If you are outside of these countries, you need to wait for a future test for a chance to try out the game and its current roster of fighters.
The test is also being carried out on multiple platforms, so whether you are on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S, you’ll have a chance to throw down.
If you haven’t signed up yet or didn’t get an email at the designated time, unfortunately, you didn’t make the cut, so all you can do now is wait and watch others play.
It likely won’t be the last time Riot hosts a playtest for its upcoming fighting game as it gears up for release sometime in 2025. So keep your eyes out for future opportunities.
