Capcom’s two upcoming fighting game collections are heading to Xbox, too

Capcom called and said Xbox can come along for the ride, too. The publisher has announced that it will release its two upcoming fighting game collections — Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 — on Xbox in 2025.

Capcom announced the two games earlier this year for PlayStation, Switch, and Steam, with Xbox platforms conspicuously absent. Now, after Capcom had what it called “technical discussions” with Microsoft, Xbox will be able to get in on the fun as well, though a bit later than everyone else.

Recently, there’s been a noticeable delay for big third-party releases on Xbox. It took last year’s Game of the Year, Baldur’s Gate 3, several months after its console launch to hit Xbox because of the technical constraints of developing for the Series S. Black Myth: Wukong launched to big fanfare on PlayStation and PC, and while an Xbox release is planned, there’s been no word of when.

Similarly, the developers of Enotria: The Last Song — an action RPG based on Italian folklore — announced an “indefinite delay” of the Xbox version of its game. In a statement on social media, the developers at Jyamma Games said that they want to bring the game to Xbox as fast as possible but that “this task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission.” The developers then implored fans to reach out to Xbox on their behalf, ostensibly to get the ball moving.

The two Capcom collections include 15 games, featuring arcade classics like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Capcom vs. SNK, Power Stone, and more. Both collections will release on Xbox sometime in 2025.
