What are the best fighting games on PS4? Sony's console is home to a very impressive selection of fighters, and we're going to list the best of them.

Long-established fighting game series are represented on PS4, with the likes of Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and Mortal Kombat 11. In addition, some more niche games have great entries, like BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2, and Samurai Shodown. There are all kinds of ways to duke it out against the AI, your buddies on the couch, or strangers online.

The variety means there's something for just about everyone, but what are the best fighting games on PS4? That's where you come in. We need your help to identify the top tier fighters on PS4, and you can have your say by leaving user ratings on each game. Use this search bar to look up PS4 fighting titles, then rate them accordingly. Doing so will directly impact this list, meaning it'll always represent the tastes of you and your fellow Push Square readers.

A game will need at least 30 ratings before it appears on the list, so if your favourite is missing, it probably just needs more people to drop it a rating.

Without further ado, here it is: our list of the best fighting games on PS4, as chosen by you.

15. For Honor (PS4)

By successfully meshing team based multiplayer with the sort of mechanics you'd normally find in a fighting game, For Honor manages to offer an experience like no other on the PS4. While the skill barrier to entry will likely cause frustration for some, anyone who puts time into learning the extremely deep combat will find each hard-fought success immensely satisfying. While the ancillary mechanics – such as the battle map and loot system – don't feel particularly engaging, it's the enjoyable campaign and multiplayer combat that are enough to ensure this title deserves more than just an honourable mention.

14. Dragon Ball XenoVerse (PS4)

Dragon Ball XenoVerse has the potential to be a serious time sink if you happen to be an avid Dragon Ball fan. Essentially an action RPG, XenoVerse is built around the concept of distorted Dragon Ball timelines, and your custom hero is tasked with fixing them. This of course involves visiting various key moments in the franchise and helping Goku and the gang overcome their newfound troubles — all while levelling up, learning new moves, and unlocking cool armour sets. The combat itself can be a little ropey — and sequel Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 is the better game overall — but this time travelling saga is still great fun.

13. Dead or Alive 5: Last Round (PS4)

If you're on the market for a flashy fighter that's perfect for some fast and fun local play, look no further than Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. Its accessibility makes it a brilliant alternative to the more technically demanding brawlers out there, and while much of what it does is unspectacular, it's a solid, satisfying title that's hard to put down when you really find your rhythm.

12. Street Fighter V (PS4)

Improved dramatically over the years, culminating in the unmissable Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, few games deliver multiplayer thrills and spills quite like Street Fighter V. This game has benefitted from years of updates and improvements, and has blossomed into a must-play entry in the genre – despite its day one woes. With a robust spread of single player content and one of the strongest competitive scenes on PS4, this is a total knockout.

11. Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 (PS4)

A mission-based action RPG aimed squarely at Dragon Ball fans, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 tasks you with correcting franchise history. Playing as your own custom hero, you travel to various points in the Dragon Ball timeline, helping Goku and the gang out in their iconic battles. Highly customisable combat and a near endless list of missions make XenoVerse 2 an adaptation that's hard to put down once you're in the grind.
