Fresh Insights on the Upcoming Tekken 8: Release, Platforms, and More!

Anticipation is high among fighting game enthusiasts for the eagerly awaited Tekken 8. Although some details regarding the game's setting and roster have been unveiled, much still remains to be discovered about this crucial title.

The official release date for Tekken 8 has been set for January 26, 2024. Given that Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 are both slated for 2023 releases, it appears fans of fighting games are in for an exceptional year ahead.

Despite the evident enthusiasm of keen players, Bandai Namco has been relatively restrained in issuing promotional material about the launch. Despite this, there is still a trove of information to decipher from gameplay trailers and the roster itself. We've gathered all the available information regarding Tekken 8's release thus far.

In terms of platforms, it's projected that Tekken 8 will hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Furthermore, it's been confirmed that the game will fully support cross-platform play, meaning no matter which console friends are on, they can compete in the virtual ring.

Given Tekken’s emphasis on competition and its settled inspiration from community-hosted events like the Tekken World Tour and EVO, the game’s online competitive system is projected to provide even better support to players than before. This can be attributed to the inclusion of rollback netcode in Tekken 8, a significant improvement from Tekken 7’s online connectivity, promising to offer much more stable online matches.
