Riot Games has reminded players and aspiring developers that a wealth of educational content is already out there for free. Through its Game Dev Resources hub, the studio has gathered years of behind-the-scenes material into one accessible spot, from sound design tutorials to articles tackling the complex technical challenges that go into running games like League of Legends and VALORANT.

The hub isn’t brand new, but Riot’s Life @ Riot account recently resurfaced it, making it easier for fans who have always wanted to make a game to find a place to start. It’s part of the company’s ongoing push to make game development more approachable, whether you’re curious about creative design or large-scale engineering problems.

That spotlight on resources also comes alongside a fresh opportunity for students: Riot’s Summer 2026 internships are now live. The first available role is for Software Engineering Interns, with Riot confirming that more positions will be announced in November. Past years have seen art and sound internships offered, so the company’s reminder about game dev learning materials feels well-timed.

The internship itself is a paid, remote programme on Pacific Standard Time, with an hourly rate of USD $56.59. Applicants must be graduating in 2027 and enrolled in a Computer Science or related degree, with coding experience in an object-oriented language such as Java, C++, or C#. Interns will work directly on Riot products, contributing to features, back-end systems, and player-facing tools across titles like League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and 2XKO.

Applications close on October 31, 2025, with more internship opportunities expected to follow shortly after. For now, whether you’re brushing up on game dev basics through Riot’s resource hub or aiming to break into the industry via an internship, Riot is giving fans multiple ways to take their first steps from player to creator.
