Riot’s running a sale on RP and TFT Coin in every region; get double the purchases from July 14 to 31
This sale precedes 2022 annual price change by Riot, which will result in a ~10% hike for regions outside of Garena (SEA and Taiwan) and Tencent (China)
Hey everyone,
Starting on Aug 19 Pacific Time, RP and TFT Coin prices will increase in most Riot regions to account for worldwide inflation, currency fluctuations, maintaining fair prices between and within regions, consistency across our products, and other associated cost increases. (Tencent regions will account for these factors in other ways due to price structure differences; Garena regions will not have price updates at this time.) While our annual price reviews often lead to changes in only a handful of regions, this year’s analysis identified economic shifts on a global scale, hence the worldwide impact.
Before the price increase, we’re giving double “bonus RP” and “bonus TFT coins” on all RP and TFT Coin purchases to every region from Jul 14 – Jul 31 Pacific Time. After the bonus promotion ends, RP bundles will go back to normal until Aug 19 as mentioned above.

Additional notes from Riot:
We wanted to mention a few points of structural consistency we’re addressing this year, causing some additional complexity beyond just adjusting the amount of RP per bundle.
First, we’re correcting cases where some regions didn’t have a single-transaction way to get 1350 RP champion skins or 1380 RP/TFTC arena skins.
Second, we’re switching most real-world currency prices to the standard “$X.99” model seen across mobile markets for consistency across our games.
The price change was kinda expected from the downward spiral of world’s economy and the rise of inflation so far in 2022. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating. It seems that even while on vacation Riot still manages to piss their player base off.
Should the economy look up in 2023, would Riot decrease the price to account for deflation? I wouldn’t hold my breath for it. Those summer vacations ain’t gonna pay themselves!
