2026 brought three new licensed fighters: 2XKO on consoles, Invincible VS and Marvel Tokon. Meanwhile the most-played fighting games on Roblox are free anime brawlers. Here is each type, so you pick the right one for you and a friend.

## New 1v1 and tag duels

- **2XKO**: Riot's free 2v2 tag fighter with League of Legends champions. Season 1 brought it to PS5 and Xbox Series on January 20, 2026.
- **Invincible VS**: A tag fighter with teams of three, based on the Invincible comics and show. Out April 30, 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
- **Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls**: Arc System Works' anime-style Marvel fighter, released August 6, 2026 on PS5 and PC. Not on Xbox or Switch.
- **Street Fighter 6**: Capcom's 2023 fighter is still the one most players learn on, thanks to simpler modern controls.

## Brawlers and party fighters

Not every fight needs combos. These are about chaos, crowds and laughing.

- **The Strongest Battlegrounds (Roblox)**: Yielding Arts' free-for-all arena fights, anime style. One of the most-played fighting games on Roblox.
- **Jujutsu Shenanigans (Roblox)**: A Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired brawler with short, flashy rounds.
- **Party Animals and Gang Beasts**: Floppy physics fighters where you throw friends out of the ring. Better with four people than with one.
