Happy Pride!
Since 2018, we’ve celebrated Pride across our games and within Riot. This year, we’re bringing more excitement by spotlighting LGBTQIA+ creators, artists, cosplayers, and community members. In League, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift, you’ll find new Pride-themed content to express your pride while enjoying the game.
We’ll also be raising funds for charity through March for Pride and hosting various events all month long. This Pride, we’re thankful for the friends we game with and the unique qualities that make our communities special.

In recent years, Pride celebrations have gained momentum not just in gaming but across various industries. According to a recent survey by the Human Rights Campaign, 80% of LGBTQIA+ individuals feel that visibility in media and gaming has improved. This change reflects a growing commitment to representation and inclusion.
Community reactions have been positive, with many players sharing their experiences online. Social media platforms are buzzing with hashtags like #PrideInGaming, where fans proudly showcase their supported games and Pride-themed creations.
As we celebrate, let’s reflect on how these inclusivity efforts help foster a sense of belonging in the gaming world. They remind us that our differences are something to cherish.
