How to download Teamfight Tactics

Teamfight Tactics is an "auto battler" game (also known as "auto chess") where you buy League of Legends characters, line them up like toys, and then fight in quick skirmishes against other players. It debuted in 2019, and already rivals the original game in popularity.

Like the original League, Teamfight Tactics is available on Mac and PC. But you can also download it on your iPhone, iPad, and Android.

On your computer, you'll play Teamfight Tactics using the same League of Legends program that we explained how to download above. When you open the program, click the TFT tab at the top to find your separate Teamfight Tactics profile.

How to download League of Legends: Wild Rift

Wild Rift is the classic League experience optimized for mobile devices. All your abilities and spells are mapped to the touchscreen, and you'll move by dragging your finger.

It's also got a separate pool of champions to unlock — nothing you unlock in one game will carry over to the other. You still need a Riot Games account, though.

League of Legends: Wild Rift is only available on smartphones and tablets. You can download it onto your iPhone or iPad from the Apple App Store, and onto your Android phone or tablet from the Google Play Store.

Legends of Runeterra is the League of Legends digital card game, similar to other digital card games like Hearthstone. Almost all of League's classic champions are available as cards in-game, and each has a unique special ability.

Uniquely, Legends of Runeterra is only available on Windows PCs, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. Mac users will have to grab another device.

To get Legends of Runeterra on your PC:

1. Head to the official Legends website and click Play Now.

How to download other League of Legends games

There are a few more minor League spinoffs. They're all branded as "A League of Legends Story," and follow specific League characters in single-player adventures. All of these games cost money to buy and download as well.

As of this writing, two games are available: Ruined King and Hextech Mayhem. Two more — Convergence and Song of Nunu — are on the way, along with a League of Legends fighting game, currently codenamed Project L.

You can buy and download Ruined King on your PC from Steam or the Epic Games Store. You can also buy it on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, or Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S from each system's respective app store.
