Six months after the defeat of Heihachi Mishima, Jin Kazama and the rebel army Yggdrasil launch an operation against his father, Kazuya Mishima, in New York City.

Seizing the moment, Kazuya announces a new King of Iron Fist Tournament in which nations must compete or face annihilation.

How long it takes, and what that costs
A full completion run takes around 25 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-6600K/AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti/AMD Radeon R9 380X. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 100GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: India is the cheapest region we track at ₹1,499.00 (about $15.74), while United Kingdom pays £20.99 — 1.8 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 24 on Steam, which is about $23.99.
What it launched against
Tekken 8 launched on 26 January 2024, within three weeks of Helldivers 2, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Persona 3 Reload and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It reviewed better than 2 of the 4. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Helldivers 2, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Persona 3 Reload, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
