Case Study: Riot Games achieves smoother player experiences with Slalom

A legendary cloud transformation to improve player experience

Riot Games partnered with Slalom and AWS to support a major cloud migration aimed at improving player experience. The challenge was to move and optimize global game infrastructure so Riot could place servers in locations that would minimize latency for players around the world.

Slalom helped Riot Games strategically select AWS regions and build a detailed automation runbook for League of Legends, enabling faster regional deployments and a more scalable cloud foundation. The results included latency improvements 36% to 53% better than expected in one region, with the ability to stand up new regions in weeks rather than longer timelines.
