The Rift Tour experience will be available to view through five different showtimes across three days. Players can navigate to the new Rift Tour tab, which was activated in-game earlier today, to select which showing they will be attending. A showtime isn't required to be selected to watch the show, however, it does let your Epic friends know when you will be watching.
