Riot Reveals Global Esports Partnership With HP-Owned Brands

Riot Games has entered into a significant global technology partnership with HP, specifically leveraging the OMEN by HP and HyperX brands. Announced in January 2024 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the agreement establishes these HP-owned entities as the primary technology providers for Riot’s major esports ecosystems, including League of Legends, the Valorant Champions Tour, and Teamfight Tactics. Notably, the partnership excludes the Wild Rift esports program.

Under the terms of this multi-year collaboration, HP will supply hardware and technical solutions to support the infrastructure of Riot’s global events. Beyond hardware provision, the partnership focuses on collaborative product development, technical innovation, and the execution of co-branded marketing campaigns. OMEN by HP and HyperX will gain prominent visibility through on-site event activations, digital fan engagement initiatives, and branded product placements during competitions, with the first major integrations scheduled to debut at Valorant Masters Madrid.

While the financial details of the agreement remain undisclosed, the deal represents a strategic expansion of Riot’s commercial partnerships. This move aligns with broader industry trends toward securing long-term technology infrastructure partners to enhance the professional gaming experience. The partnership underscores the continued integration of high-performance hardware brands into the competitive esports landscape, reinforcing the technical standards required for global tournament operations.
