Case Study: Riot Games achieves faster player-focused innovation with X-Team

Riot Games migrates legacy systems ahead of schedule with X-Team

Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends and Valorant, needed to scale its engineering team and modernize legacy systems like its Riak database and Solr search engine. The company also wanted to explore using large language models to enhance localized game content. To address this, Riot Games partnered with the vendor X-Team.

X-Team provided over 120 senior engineers who integrated seamlessly into Riot's teams. The solution involved migrating the legacy database and search engine ahead of schedule and integrating LLMs to accelerate content creation. As a result, X-Team helped Riot Games achieve faster service level agreements, speed up product-to-market timelines, and reduce development time with new automation tools.
