League of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile version of League of Legends PC, is a MOBA game specifically designed for Android and iOS platforms. The game is currently in the open beta testing phase in a few countries and is expected to launch globally in 2021. The game has already accumulated a huge player base including the players not only from the open beta regions.

As per the Sensor Tower report, Wild Rift has achieved 12.5 million downloads across all platforms since October 27. The top markets for the game in terms of downloads in the first week were Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Turkey, and Russia. Not only this, Wild Rift became the #1 iOS app in all the open beta countries in a few days after its launch.

While many League of Legends or other PC players love Wild Rift, a smaller screen and unavailability of physical controls make it quite difficult for them to shift from PC to mobile platform. In that case, they can play the game on PC using keyboard and mouse and here are the steps to do so:
