Connecting the dots (and accounts)
To get hold of these benefits, you’ll have to connect your Riot Games and Microsoft accounts together. Fortunately, the process is quite simple. Find the Xbox App on your PC and make sure it’s fully up to date. Find any of Riot’s games and click to play. Install it, and click play.
A pop-up will appear to guide you through the rest of the steps. This is where you’ll be asked to input some personal information. If you don’t already have a Riot Games account, the pop-up will guide you through this process as well.
Then you’ve just got to wait for the confirmation email. That can take 24 hours. We suggest you use that time constructively. This should help you practice.
