Riot Games at a Glance

Riot Games started as a small studio in the United States in 2006 and began releasing games in 2009. The company has grown its catalog steadily over time. You will find one title from the 2000s, three from the 2010s, and five from the 2020s on their list. Their most famous entry is League of Legends, which launched in 2009. This strategy game set a high bar for the studio and remains one of their best-rated works with a score of 79.5 out of 100. The publisher focuses heavily on competitive genres. Their portfolio includes four strategy games, two role-playing titles, two MOBA entries, and two shooters. They also have a strong presence in card and board games with Legends of Runeterra, which holds a score of 79.6. Valorant, released in June 2020, is their shooter offering that scores 75. The company has expanded to mobile platforms as well. You can play Riot titles on Android and iOS alongside PC and Mac support. Some recent releases like League of Legends: Wild Rift reached a score of 70.6, while Valorant Mobile arrived in August 2025. Their quality ratings show a consistent trend toward good scores. Out of the six rated titles available, one is great and five are good. There are no mixed or poor ratings in their current data set. This suggests a steady ability to meet player expectations without major failures. Their most recent release, 2XKO, came out in January 2026 with a score of 70.8. They also have another fighting game scheduled for 2026 called 2XKO which shows they are still active in the arena fighter space. The company operates across many platforms including PC, mobile devices, and consoles like Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Their total output on PlayPile stands at ten games where they act as either developer or publisher. Riot Games has maintained a focus on multiplayer experiences that span from traditional strategy to tactical shooters. While their catalog is not massive compared to some giants, every entry carries a solid reputation. The studio continues to release new content and updates well into the 2026 period.
