Riot Games is supporting Los Angeles County wildfire relief efforts through special in-game purchases in VALORANT and League of Legends.
From January 22-30, proceeds from VALORANT's new EX.O bundle will go to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, supporting natural disaster recovery organizations in Southern California and globally.

Additionally, the rare Firefighter Tristana skin in League of Legends will be temporarily unvaulted from January 23 to February 5, with sales proceeds also supporting the relief fund. This 2010 skin is particularly valuable due to its limited availability.
The initiative hits close to home for Riot, whose U.S. headquarters lies near the Palisades Fire evacuation zones. The company has already:
- Triple-matched employee donations to LA relief organizations
- Provided generators to fire stations
- Donated meals to support recovery efforts
- Volunteered company resources and teams
The Los Angeles wildfires have caused an estimated $250 billion in damage and economic losses as of January 16. Riot emphasizes that community rebuilding efforts will continue long after the fires are contained, reflecting their expanded commitment to global natural disaster relief and prevention.
