Get ready to unleash your inner fighter because 2XKO, the highly anticipated free-to-play brawler, has finally landed on PS5—and it’s a game-changer. Born from the universe of League of Legends, this fighting game has been turning heads in early access on PC, and now console players can join the fray. But here’s where it gets exciting: 2XKO isn’t just another fighter—it’s a visual masterpiece with buttery-smooth gameplay, a diverse roster of characters, and online netcode that’s as reliable as it gets. And yes, it’s completely free, clocking in at a mere 6.8GB on your PS5. So, what’s the catch? And this is the part most people miss: the game monetizes through cosmetics—think character skins, flashy overlays, and other premium goodies. The Season 1 trailer (linked above) gives you a sneak peek at some of these drool-worthy designs. But here’s the controversial question: Is relying solely on cosmetics a sustainable model for free-to-play games, or does it risk alienating players who don’t want to spend extra? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Whether you’re a combo king or a casual brawler, 2XKO is worth your time—just don’t let your opponent hit the floor (or the comment section) without a fight. Written by Robert Ramsey (Rob to his friends), Push Square’s assistant editor and a PlayStation enthusiast since the Tekken 2 days. While he still takes his fighters seriously, his heart truly belongs to RPGs—from The Witcher to Final Fantasy, he’s played them all (maybe a little too much). Ready to dive in? The arena awaits!
