Best Fighting games on PlayStation 5
The 20 best Fighting games on PlayStation 5, ranked from 4,487 critic and player ratings.
The best Fighting game on PlayStation 5 right now is Tekken 8, with a critic score of 88/100 — updated September 2026.
How this ranking is built
- Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
- A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
- Each game is ranked in one genre only, the one that defines it best, so the same title never tops two different genre charts.
- Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
- Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
- 20 games are listed on this page, carrying 4,487 ratings between them.
- Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 28 September 2026.
