If you've never played it before, this is a good time to try a game that still has a lot going for it. But if you’re a fan hoping for long-awaited improvements like rollback netcode, cross-platform play, Tag Battle, or even just some new content… this ain't it. Things you'd expect from the definitive edition of a fighting game in 2026 simply aren't here. Rollback is the standard now. Cross-platform play is the standard. In a world where all the DLC was included, or Tag Battle was added, or where there were new characters and stages included at release, those omissions would be easier to forgive. But that's not the world we live in. Dead or Alive 6 is still a great fighting game.

If you've never played it before, this is a good time to try a game that still has a lot going for it. But if you’re a fan hoping for long-awaited improvements like rollback netcode, cross-platform play, Tag Battle, or even just some new content… this ain't it. Things you'd expect from the definitive edition of a fighting game in 2026 simply aren't here. Rollback is the standard now. Cross-platform play is the standard. In a world where all the DLC was included, or Tag Battle was added, or where there were new characters and stages included at release, those omissions would be easier to forgive. But that's not the world we live in. Dead or Alive 6 is still a great fighting game.

Unfortunately, its emphasis on pushing you through a steady flurry of quick matches is also where its biggest weakness lies. While this modern, run-it-up style might work for the first several runs, the games played, highlights made, and championships secured all eventually blur together, turning the excitement of those first title wins old much too soon. That means I was usually ready to pack up and head home before the lights were too low to see the rim, but these runs are still undoubtedly enjoyable in short bursts, and I’m eager to see how future updates might pull me back in for a few more.]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/06/10/nba-the-run-yt-2-1781130837815.jpg"/><media:keywords><![CDATA[NBA THE RUN, Sports, PC, Online Co-Op Multiplayer, Online Versus Multiplayer, Basketball, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Cross-Platform Play, Unreal Engine 5, Online Six-Player Multiplayer, Play by Play Studios, Play by Play Studios]]></media:keywords><media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[NBA The Run Video Review]]></media:title><media:category label="Games">Games</media:category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disclosure Day Review]]></title><description><![CDATA[Steven Spielberg is back in theaters, and he's brought aliens with him for the first time in years.

The evolution of this risky, young Bond over the course of the story also feels logical and earned, to the point where the final moments before the credits left me literally cheering at the screen.
