As the wildfires continued to devastate areas in Los Angeles, Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends and Valorant, took action to aid the community. Riot Games’ headquarters, located in Santa Monica, was near areas affected by the fires, prompting the company to mobilize its resources.

The studio’s CEO, Dylan Jadeja, emphasized their commitment to support the city, stating they would ‘stand up for Los Angeles.’ In response to the crisis, organizations and volunteers worked together to provide essential assistance. Riot Games facilitated the use of their facilities for relief efforts, providing a generator to a local fire station that had lost power and donating 400 meals from its employee cafeteria to local first responders.

Riot Games is also extending its support through fundraising efforts within its games. Starting soon, players can contribute to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund through special in-game purchases in Valorant and League of Legends. They state that initiatives like these are part of a broader commitment to support recovery efforts in their community and beyond.

Riot Games aims to continue its efforts by also supporting organizations such as the California Fire Foundation and the International Medical Corps, ensuring they remain active in community aid long after the fires are extinguished. The company encourages everyone to donate and participate in recovery initiatives, reinforcing their belief in the importance of rebuilding and sustaining communities affected by natural disasters.
