Fight for NY.
Now online.
Play Def Jam: Fight for NY natively on your PC, built from your own copy of the game, and take the fight online: rooms, Quick Match, King of the Hill and voice chat, right in the game's main menu.
Download for Windows
The installer holds no game files: it builds the game from your own dump. It is unsigned, so Windows may warn: choose More info, then Run anyway.
What you get
The fighter you remember. The online it never had.
Rooms and venue vote
One on One, 3-Way and Free for All with up to four players, CPU fighters in the free places. Pick from the roster, ready up, then the room votes on the venue.
King of the Hill
Up to ten players in one room. Two fight, the rest watch and wait in line. The winner stays on; the loser goes to the back.
Voice chat
Talk in rooms and fights: push-to-talk on the keyboard or the controller, an open microphone, or off, with a volume for every player.
Stats and ranked
Sign in with Discord for your record, main fighter, last fights and the leaderboard. Ranked matches with a rating are on the way.
Rollback netcode beta
Fights run in lockstep with an input delay set from your pings. Switch on rollback (beta) in the launcher; it is used when everyone in the match has it on.
Sharper than ever
Up to four times the console's resolution, windowed or borderless, and optional HD textures generated on your PC from your own dump.
Any pad you own
Xbox, DualSense, Switch Pro and most other gamepads, keyboard and mouse, rumble and remapping, up to four players on one PC.
Screens
Straight from the game.
60 fps, native on your PC
The original Xbox game is translated into C and compiled on your own machine, so menus, Story mode and fights run natively at 60 frames per second, with sound, drawn through Direct3D 11.
