2XKO has arrived on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, and it does have crossplay. PlayStation Plus adds a special chroma, avatar item, and Battle Pass level skips. Even if you don't have a Plus subscription, you'll be able to purchase these items with credits. Trophies and Achievements for the tag fighter are live as well. If you have played on PC already, you can use your Riot account and link it to your console account.
A new champion is available for the console launch. Caitlin, the Sheriff of Piltover, brings her hextech rifle and traps to the party. You can purchase Caitlin with 1,000 KO points, 1,000 KO Points, one Champion Token, or the Ultra Battle Pass bundle. You can also unlock her for free through her three-week Champion Recruitment Event. All champions are available in Training and Offline Mode, whether you've purchased them or not.
Projectiles have been overpowered in early access, so Riot made some pretty significant changes before the console launch. Courtesy of Riot, here's that list:
We’re changing projectiles in a few ways to lower their overall power and help make outcomes clearer. Projectiles often led to no-win situations for the defender: either hit the champion and get hit by the projectile, or block the projectile and eat a mixup. We’re cleaning up this interaction to have clearer outcomes.
- Projectiles now disappear under these conditions:
* When the champion that fired the projectile is hit by an attack.
* When the Point champion is hit.
* When a throw tech occurs.
* The following moves are not impacted by this change: Ultimates, Jinx's P'Choo Bang Pew Pew Boom Boom (S1 Super), Zaaaapp! (S2 Super), Braum's Glacial Fissure (S1 Super), Shattering Spires (Unbreakable D.S2), Glacial Fissure Assist (D.T), Leap, Little One (F.S1), Teemo's Noxious Sweeper Assist (D.T). Noxious Surprise (S2 Super) will explode on contact, Illaoi's All tentacle attacks.
- Projectile attacks that are chargeable now fire automatically when performing a Handshake Tag.
* Charging a projectile and handshake tagging was particularly hard to interact with. Compared to physical strikes where parry or active hitboxes are a viable option, often your only decision was to drop your combo to avoid the projectile.
- Hitting a champion during the recovery frames of firing a mid-air projectile will cause an interrupt.
* Interrupts result in more damage, hit stun, and Break meter.
- If an Assist fires multiple projectiles, hitting the Point champion will prevent more projectiles from firing.
* Notable moves include: Jinx Tons of Fishbones Assist (D.T), Teemo Darts Assist (B.T, Ahri Foxfire Rain Assist (B.T).
