After returning to in-person competition last year, the Evolution Championship Series is once again headed to Las Vegas this summer, with the lineup of featured games for Evo 2023 now officially revealed.
The event will feature eight fighting games on its main stage, with each game’s Top 6–a change from previous years’ Top 6–featuring during each game’s time in the spotlight. All eight official Evo tournaments will also sport a $25,000 prize pool, with $10,500 of that going to first place.

Street Fighter 6 makes its first appearance at Evo this year as the headline game, joining last year’s main event Guilty Gear Strive and other returning games Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, Tekken 7, and The King of Fighters XV. Evo 2023 will also feature the first ever Evo Throwback Tournament–with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 selected as the first-ever throwback game–as well as a special prerelease tournament for Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, which launches later in 2023.
