The base game, meanwhile, will be free to play on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. It will feature one free weekly rotating fighter, as well as single-player, local, and ranked modes.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Getting 5th Anniversary Spirit Event
It’s almost scary to think that Super Smash Bros Ultimate released five years ago today. Where has the time gone? Have we really been able to play it for so long? The answer is “we don’t know” and “yes.” It’s hard to picture, but the game came out in 2018, and just like in 2018, it came out on the day of The Game Awards and even announced the first DLC character during the event! The point is that the game has been around a while, and you might want a reason to go back in and play it for yourself. The good news is that we have that motivation.
