The event, which was bought out by Sony and RTS in 2021, is also making some substantial changes! The Top 8 finals format has been controversially scrapped and replaced with Top 6, apparently to keep things from running overtime.
Let's start with the big one. Street Fighter 6 will be featured at Evo 2023, and stood out as a main point of excitement for many of the prior Evo winners interviewed as part of the announcement show. Only a few days prior at the Capcom Pro Tour finals, a $1,000,000 prize for 1st place in next year's Capcom Cup Street Fighter 6 winner. The combination of the two has thousands hyped to attend Evo and give the game a go.

EVO was dominated by rollback netcode announcements, and I couldn't be happier

Original postEvo 2022 just wrapped up this morning, and as a UK resident who stayed up to watch the whole thing until roughly 30 minutes before work started, it was exhausting. I’m not talking about the run time, I’m talking about the back-to-back banger announcements coming from multiple fighting game developers over the weekend. A large quantity of which, you’ll be happy to know, revolves around the implementation of rollback netcode.
For those not in the know, rollback netcode has kind of been the hot topic over the past few years (although arguably it’s been heating up for over a decade now), reaching its burning point during the worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns. While before a large chunk of games struggled to match you up with opponents online without lag, dropped frames, or teleporting, we’ve now seen a vast selection of games past present and future featuring this improved netcode moving forward.
While new characters may seem far more exciting for the average player, and this weekend didn’t hold back with announcements for rad new roster additions, it’s way more important in my book to see pre-existing games with entrenched communities get the support they need via online overhauls.

Original postArc System Works has announced that Dragon Ball Fighterz is finally getting rollback netcode, but there's a catch.
Let's start with the good news: Dragon Ball Fighterz is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X, at some point anyway, and with that will come the fabled rollback netcode (which will also come to the PC version of the game). What's the bad news, you ask? The PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game won't be getting rollback netcode, it looks like.
The news was announced at Evo, and the official Bandai Namco Esports account put out a statement going into a bit more detail. "As a result of our continuous testing to include the rollback system, it has been confirmed that the implementation can be applied to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and we have officially been working on its production," reads the statement.
