Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Coming to Xbox After All

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is coming to Xbox after all despite controversially being announced for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC with no Microsoft console in sight.The Marvel vs. Capcom X/Twitter account confirmed the game would be coming to Xbox One and will therefore be backwards compatible via the Xbox Series consoles. It was similarly announced for PlayStation 4 and not PlayStation 5.Xbox fans will have to wait longer, however, as while other platforms are getting the collection — which brings seven fan favorite fighting games together on modern consoles — on September 12, 2024, the Xbox version has the vague release window of 2025.”We’re excited to announce that after technical discussions with our partners at Microsoft, we can confirm that Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will release on Xbox One,” the post said. “The Xbox One version will be out in 2025, so please stay tuned for more information.”Xbox fans originally said it not releasing on the platform was a “gut punch” and the phrase “No Xbox” was even trending online. It’s unclear exactly what technical issues were stopping the fighting game collection from coming to Xbox, though it wouldn’t be the only game to skip Microsoft’s platform.Another neat fighting game package, the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, was also announced in August 2024 for all platforms besides Xbox, but there’s no word on a change here just yet.Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He’ll talk about The Witcher all day.
