Brooo Capcom vs SNK 2. Powerstone 1 and 2. And no Xbox version in sight.FUCK. THAThttps://t.co/3XWfrLIhok
Once again, Xbox console players are getting the short end of the stick. Let’s not forget that even the latest smash-hit,Black Myth Wukong, didn’t arrive on Xbox, and developers have remained silent on its release.
See I don’t even know what’s happening anymore.Like, how are these games not coming to Xbox?I said it the other day and saying it now, 50 series GPUs can’t come soon enough.
It has now become a common practice for a number of new games to skip a debut on Xbox for some reason. Fans have had enough and believe that if Microsoft doesn’t deal with this issue, it will be the end of the console.
Dude thank god I own a PS5 and a Switch but that isn’t the point.Why is this skipping Xbox?? This is real pattern and becoming a problem.
Many of the classics in this collection were available for previous-generation Xbox consoles but can’t be ported over to the current-generation ones.
It’s truly a crushing blow for the fans of the fighting games who have been hoping to see more on Xbox. However, there looks to be no end to this depressing trend unless Xbox can sort this mess out.
The game is scheduled to be released in 2025. Let’s hope that one day, we see the fighting collection eventually arrive on Xbox consoles.
Why is Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Skipping Xbox?
With another classic fighting game collection skipping Xbox consoles altogether, players are wondering what the possible reason behind this decision could be. After all, modern-day Xbox consoles have the hardware capabilities to support such games.

Many users have reported that modern Xbox consoles don’t support MT Framework, which isCapcom‘s old game engine. The engine powered many classics in the past, such asLost Planet,Monster Hunter Stories, and a bunch ofResident EvilGames.
While the company has managed to shift most of its development to RE Engine, MT Framework is still essential to run older games in the fighting collection, which was initially crafted on this platform. The engine was created to primarily support multi-threading on Xbox 360 and PS3, but the modern-day Xbox consoles don’t support this feature.
Currently, the company might not have plans to port the rework of the MT Framework to support Xbox consoles. So, if you’re looking to play these games and you’re on Xbox, you almost need to experience it on PS4, PC, or Switch.
