Hiring · 186 open jobsGeneral information
Riot Games makes video games and esports entertainment. It created League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, Wild Rift, 2XKO, and the Riftbound trading card game. It also made the animated series Arcane. The company is based in Los Angeles, California, with 24 offices around the world.
Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill started Riot Games in September 2006. Their first game, League of Legends, launched in October 2009. Tencent, a Chinese company, bought 93% of Riot Games in 2011 for $400 million, then bought the rest in 2015. Riot Games employed over 4,200 people in 2024, after cutting 530 jobs that January. That matters: full ownership by Tencent means Riot Games' games and business plans answer to one of China's largest tech companies. Riot Games is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1
