Learn how to create a lobby and start matchmaking in 2XKO’s various game modes, and start your fighting journey with this article.
Riot Games’ latest fighting title, 2XKO, comes with an extensive matchmaking system and lobby options. There is something for everyone, from public servers and private lobbies to challenging random players directly and joining different cabinets for a fight.
However, despite the general excitement of so many game modes and opportunities to rank up and progress in the battle pass, things can get easily confusing for players new to the system or the genre. Thus, in this guide, we have given a comprehensive breakdown of how to create a lobby and start matchmaking in 2XKO.
How To Create a Lobby in 2XKO
Primarily, there are two types of lobbies in 2XKO: public lobbies and private ones. Both are great ways to test your skills and your prowess with characters from the game’s eleven-fighter roster. Below, we have discussed both options in detail and how you can play them.
How To Enter a Public Lobby in 2XKO
To play public matches in Riot Games’ latest fighting title, first, you will need to enter the public lobby. To join a public lobby in the game, click on the Play button and head to the Casual Mode. Then, click on the Play button once again to enter a public lobby.
There, you will find other players from your selected region. It is a space for battle as well as parkour and general hanging out. It is pretty simple to enter an open public server in the game, and it is a great way to meet other gamers and find friends for a private lobby session.
How To Create a Private Lobby in 2XKO
Players can easily enter a private lobby of their own in 2XKO. To do that, first, go to the main menu of the game and then click Play. Then, select the Private tab and enter the lobby ID of your choice. After that, click on the Play button once again to get into your private lobby. Once it is done, you can share the lobby ID with your friends or anyone else. They can then go to the same Private tab and enter the ID to join your session.

How To Start Matchmaking in 2XKO
As one can expect, matchmaking in 2XKO involves all of the game modes. Despite being in early access, the game gives you several options such as the classic random matchmaking. Other than that, you can also challenge a player directly from a public server or join cabinet matches. We will go over the details below.
Random Matchmaking in 2XKO
Random matchmaking involves all of the players from your region. If you want to start it, you will have to get into a public lobby first. After that, you can select the “Find a Match” option and start your matchmaking. Once the game finds a suitable match for you, the cabinet will light up with a yellow hue and make a sound.
After that, you can simply go over to the highlighted cabinet and click on the “Join Cabinet” button to enter the match. This system is slightly different from Riot’s other free-to-play online titles such as Valorant and League of Legends. However, one similarity is that you will have a limited amount of time to join the game, which in this case is thirty seconds. If you do not want to do that, choose the Forfeit option to stop the matchmaking process.
How To Challenge Players in 2XKO’s Public Lobbies
If you do not like random matchmaking, then 2XKO also gives you the option to choose your own opponent. To challenge a player in the public lobbies, you can simply approach the player and choose the “Interact” option. Then, select the “Challenge” button from the pop-up menu. If your opponent accepts, both of you can start your match by going to the given cabinet.
How To Join Cabinet Qeues in 2XKO
Cabinets in 2XKO work as match rooms. This means other players can join them and wait in queues to start matches with people in the same cabinet. To do this, first, find a cabinet occupied by players fighting each other. Then, select the “Join the Cabinet Queue” option. After that, you will have to wait for one of the players to leave. Once they do, you will enter a match with the remaining player.
In addition to that, if you are playing with friends, you can also join cabinet queues as duos. The co-op option in 2XKO is what makes the game unique in the fighting genre. It is a great way to learn and have some fun with your friends without going up against each other.
