This year has been so incredible for fighting game fans, from the return of fan-favorite characters like Guilty Gear’s Dizzy to Tekken 8’s Heihachi Mishima, that you may have forgotten Tekken 8 actually came out at the beginning of this year.Since launching in January, it’s been beloved by the community, whether it’s players online or the crowds at EVO waiting for their turn to compete. If you haven’t jumped in yet, I heartily recommend it (you’ll see my Jin dressed like Beast Gohan in the lobby, so challenge me to matches any time). Right now several shops are selling physical copies of the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X for just $30. This is a fantastic deal for such a great fighting game you can play and enjoy for years to come.Get Tekken 8 for $30Tekken 8 – Amazon Launch Edition (PS5)0Tekken 8 (Xbox Series X)0What We Said in Our Tekken 8 ReviewIn my buddy (and resident Tekken expert) Ronny Barrier’s 9/10 review of Tekken 8, he said, “Tekken 8 is an amazing new entry in the long-running series. Interesting tweaks to its classic fighting systems, a full suite of fun offline modes, great new characters, incredible training tools, and a vastly improved online experience all add up to a fighting game I will be playing for many years to come. By honoring its legacy, but continuing to move forward, Tekken 8 manages to stand out as something special.”More Black Friday Gaming Deals We’ve FoundFor more gaming discounts, check out the best PlayStation Black Friday 2024 deals so far.
