Can you play League of Legends on Xbox?

With its addition to the service, and of course, noticing your friends playing it online, it would seem pretty obvious to it to also be available on Xbox consoles, right? Unfortunately, the answer is no, as the game is still tied to PC in order to play it.
If you’re an Xbox player and you want to check out the game, you’ll have to make use of Xbox Game Pass for PC in order to give it a whirl. If you’ve noticed any of your friends playing it online, it’s most likely through PC, as there is currently no console version of League of Legends available.
Whether that will change remains to be seen, but at the time of writing, there are no plans for a console port of League of Legends. Hopefully, the Xbox and Riot Games partnership will encourage those plans to change in the future.
