Capcom's upcoming fighting game collections will come to Xbox after all

As a lifelong gamer who’s spent countless hours battling it out in the virtual arena, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when the Capcom fighting collections were initially announced to be Xbox-free. But boy, do I love a good comeback story! The fact that Capcom has reached an agreement with Microsoft to bring these beloved titles to Xbox consoles in 2025 is nothing short of a dream come true for this old-school fighter.


Capcom sparked enthusiasm among fighting game enthusiasts by revealing two compilation sets of classic games, featuring fan favorites like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Power Stone. Initially planned to bypass Xbox consoles entirely, Capcom has now disclosed a deal that will see both the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 arrive on Xbox in 2025.

This morning, Capcom shared the news that their eagerly-awaited duo of fighting game compilations, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection 2, will also be available on Xbox One. They made this announcement following technical talks with Microsoft. Originally, these games were planned for release on PC and PlayStation consoles.
