How to get into the 2XKO Alpha Lab Test

Riot Games has begun inviting players to participate in its 2XKO Alpha Lab test. If you’re interested and want to join the action, here’s how you can secure your spot in the test.

How to join the 2XKO Alpha Lab

For now, there are only two methods to join the ongoing 2XKO Alpha Lab test, and unfortunately, both rely on a degree of luck.

Receive an Invitation

The simplest way is to have Riot Games directly invite you. To be considered, though, you must have a Riot Account and sign up for the test on the official 2XKO website, if you haven’t already. Make sure your account is using a verified e-mail, otherwise you won’t be able to complete the next step.

Once you register for the 2XKO Alpha Lab test, you’ll receive an interest survey in the e-mail you used. This survey must be completed to be considered for the test. When you’re done, the final step is to wait for Riot to invite you. Should you receive an invite, it will also come in the registered e-mail, providing you the opportunity to choose your preferred platform to participate.

Recieve a Friend Referral

The other way you can join the 2XKO test is by friend referral. Some of those who were invited to the 2XKO test also received a referral invite they could use to bring someone else into the test. If one of these players sends you a referral, you can play in the 2XKO Alpha Lab test without a Riot invitation. To be clear, this referral is not a key. It is a literal link you must click on. Only those with a Riot Account can use it to download and play in the test.

Unfortunately, there are no other known methods for joining the 2XKO Alpha Lab test, so you’ll probably need to wait for an invite from Riot to get a chance to play it. The Alpha Lab test officially began on August 8 and will run until August 19. Currently, the test is only available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC.
