Diversity & Inclusion

Building a Riot Games where everyone can thrive.
We make Riot a great home for people who love making games by setting a high bar for diversity and inclusion, and fostering a fair, collaborative, high-performing culture.
To get there, we’re driven by a few simple beliefs. We believe:
Teams win together only when they are both diverse and inclusive.
Leveraging our strengths, knowing our weaknesses, and being honest about both is the best way to succeed, whether that’s in the office or in a game.
We must not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, religious discrimination, and bigotry of any kind.
Work can be a place where you make lifelong friends, partner with clutch teammates, and embrace the joy of making games.
These beliefs will help us surface the best ideas, challenge the status quo, and ultimately make better games.

Our Annual Diversity and Inclusion Progress Report is live
In 2021, while the world continued to navigate many uncertainties, we remained focused on giving Rioters and players the best experience possible. While we were still getting back up to speed following the pandemic, we are proud to say that we improved in many areas and made meaningful strides in becoming as inclusive as we can possibly be.
Rioter Inclusion Groups
Our employee resource groups, Rioter Inclusion Groups, bring Rioters together to celebrate diversity, enable authentic representation in gaming and our products, and foster a deep sense of belonging at Riot. RIGs play a crucial part in making sure Rioters of all backgrounds can thrive. Through their insights, programs, and activations, RIGs play a vital role in building and cultivating an inclusive community inside and out.
