Riot Adjusting RP Prices for Exchange Rates and Local Economies
Recently, Riot Games announced changes to the prices of virtual currencies across all their game titles, including League of Legends, VALORANT, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and TFT.
In their official blog post, Riot explained that the adjustments are necessary to reflect changes in exchange rates and local economies, as well as to ensure a fairer price balance between regions. They also mentioned their intention to prevent exploitation of price differences by third parties through server transfers and VPNs.
List of Price Changes
To offset these changes, Riot will offer bonus virtual currency on in-game purchases in regions where prices are increasing. The bonus offers will become available on September 4th at 9:00 AM PST for most regions. Additionally, Riot will standardize the bundles across all games and regions.
If you are not planning to make purchases in the store, you can also explore ways to earn more RP. The following are the average price changes (which may vary slightly based on bundles and payment methods), with the most significant adjustments highlighted:
