It's time for another round of Pick One! This week, to celebrate the recent addition of Soul Calibur VI to the Xbox Game Pass lineup, we're focusing on three great Xbox One fighting games. We just want to know your favourite!
Let's take a look at what we're working with:
Soul Calibur VI (2018)
The latest entry in the long-running Soul Calibur series arrived back in 2018, featuring a new Soul Chronicle mode telling the series' origin story, new gameplay features including Reversal Edge and Soul Charge, and a very special guest character in the form of Geralt from The Witcher series.
Mortal Kombat 11 (2019)
The ultra-violent Mortal Kombat 11 arrived back in 2019, introducing a new story mode that was recently expanded with the release of the Aftermath DLC (which also features Robocop!). The game incorporates another huge batch of gruesome fatalities, along with a selection of new gameplay mechanics and modes.
Injustice 2 (2017)
The 2017 sequel to Xbox 360 classic Injustice: Gods Among Us implements the biggest DC roster ever offered in a fighting game, complete with an abundance of content including an improved story mode, a new RPG-style Gear System and a new Multiverse mode offering near-limitless challenges.
Let us know which of these Xbox One fighting games is your favourite below.

As a Tekken fan, I feel the burn >.>
MK 11 is my pick. I was a beast at that series in the arcade.
Injustice would be perfect if not for those pesky microtransactions. I think I'm actually going for Samurai Shodown this generation
I'm a huge DC fan, so definitely Injustice 2. I was never into MK, but I did play a lot of Soul Calibur on the GameCube as a kid. Injustice 2 for me is the best fighting game out now, besides Super smash Bros, but I won't talk about that here..
Between those 3 I would definitely have to go with SC6. Injustice 2 is great too but would put it a tier below. MK is a bit too violent/graphic even for me so that's firmly at the bottom.
Full disclosure, I haven't played MK11-Aftermath, but that aside, Injustice 2 is probably the most complete fighting game package this gen. Story mode is long but good, towers are fun, playable netcode, and gear is like having 1000 free costumes to earn. MK11 is largely the same formula as IJ2 (which itself was basically MKX) but didn't feel as fun to play as its predecessor.
Gotta go with Soul Calibur here.
Out of those three it has to be MK11. I'm not a fan of the other two. Story mode was interesting but nothing amazing. MK9 is my favorite in the series. My all time favorite fighting game is Killer Instinct though. I hope and wish they make another one for Series X.
@MAC26 KI deserves mad props for having the best netcode the entire generation despite being the first fighting game of the generation. I really hope they make a "Super" version at launch of Series X if no sequel is in development.
@Zochmenos that too! Definitely the best fighting game to play online. One of the members of Iron galaxy already stated they were working on a new game but that it wasn't KI. Hopefully Xbox listens to the KI community because we need some type of KI on next gen.
