About this game

How it plays

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite pairs up fighters from both universes into two-character teams instead of the three-on-three squads longtime fans remember, which changes the rhythm of matches quite a bit. You’re managing tag-ins, assists, and combo strings while your partner waits on the sideline ready to swap in. The story pulls its stakes from Ultron Sigma, a fused villain wiping out biological life across both universes, which gives the cast of heroes and villains a reason to team up against a common threat. On PC through Xbox, cross-play works between Windows 10 and Xbox One versions of the game, though it stays walled off from other platforms entirely.

Who it’s for

If you grew up mashing buttons with a friend picking absurd hero-versus-villain matchups, or you just like fighting games with big flashy combos and a roster full of recognizable faces, this is squarely aimed at you. Fans of crossover fighters who enjoy tag mechanics and want to see Marvel characters trade blows with Capcom mainstays will find plenty to sink into here. It’s less appealing if you’re after a deep, slow-burn fighting game with a huge cast to memorize, or if you strictly play fighters locally and don’t care about the story mode framing. Competitive players who follow the genre closely will already have opinions on how this entry compares to its predecessor, so it’s worth knowing what you’re getting into before committing.

Is it worth it?

For anyone who already knows they like crossover fighting games, this is the kind of title that’s easy to enjoy in short bursts or long sessions with a second controller and a friend. It’s not a massive time investment to learn the basics, and the appeal of seeing these two universes collide hasn’t really faded. As a genre entry, it’s the sort of game that rewards picking up when the price drops rather than paying full price on day one, especially since the fighting game scene has moved on to newer releases since 2017. If you’re patient and catch it during a sale, it’s a solid addition to a fighting game collection or a fun couch co-op option.
