Best PS4 Boxing Games in 2026: Every Option That Actually Runs on PlayStation 4

Updated October 3, 2026. There are fewer real PS4 boxing games than most people expect: no Fight Night was ever released on PS4, and the licensed sim Undisputed skipped the console. The boxing games on PS4 that you can still buy are Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions, the PS VR games Creed: Rise to Glory and Knockout League, the Punch-Out-style Pato Box and the Punch Club management games. Here is what each one is like, and what to play on PS5 if you want a full boxing sim.

Our 2020 version of this page covered four games. Three of them (Creed: Rise to Glory, Pato Box and Knockout League) are still the most interesting boxing options on the system, and Punch Club remains a curiosity. Since then, PS4 has received one new console boxing game, Big Rumble Boxing, and the Punch Club sequel. We only list games with a confirmed PS4 version on the PlayStation Store.

Every boxing game on PS4 worth considering

*US PlayStation Store list prices as shown on October 3, 2026; sales are frequent. Every game in the table is also playable on PS5 through backward compatibility. PS VR games on PS5 need the original PS VR headset, the PS4 Camera and Sony's free camera adaptor.

1. Creed: Rise to Glory (PS VR) - the most realistic boxing on PS4

Survios's VR game puts you in the gloves of Adonis Creed and is the closest thing PS4 has to a real boxing sim, because you physically throw every punch, block with your arms and slip by moving your head. Its "Phantom Melee" system slows your virtual fists when you get tired or hit hard, so wild flailing does not work for long. Career mode has Rocky Balboa training you between fights, and you can also box other players online (up to two players, PS Plus required).

The PS VR version has an exclusive extra: you can play as young Rocky in his prime. You need PlayStation Move controllers, which the game uses as your fists. Reviews were positive about the boxing and the workout and critical of the thin story; PlayStation LifeStyle gave it 7/10.

On PS5: the PS VR version runs through backward compatibility with the old headset. The Championship Edition (April 4, 2023) is a separate PS VR2 release for PS5 that requires PS VR2 Sense controllers.

2. Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions - best PS4 boxing game without VR

Released on September 3, 2021, this is the only new non-VR boxing game PS4 got in its later years. It is an arcade fighter rather than a sim: 20 characters from the Rocky and Creed films, including Rocky Balboa, Adonis Creed, Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago and Clubber Lang, 13 arenas and training mini-games based on the movies' montages. Controls are simple enough to pick up in a few minutes, and the local two-player versus mode is the best reason to buy it.

The catch is content. There is no online multiplayer, and the story mode is short with text-based cutscenes; Push Square scored it 6/10 for that reason. Wait for a sale if you mostly play alone.

3. Knockout League (PS VR) - arcade boxing in VR

Knockout League is to Creed what Punch-Out!! is to Fight Night: you fight nine increasingly strange opponents, including an octopus called Sir Octopunch, and win by learning their patterns, dodging with your body and countering. Between fights there are training mini-games such as a speed bag, focus mitts and a stamina drill, plus a fitness mode with a calorie counter and leaderboards.

It is lighter and more forgiving than Creed: Rise to Glory, which makes it the better choice for younger players or anyone who wants a quick workout rather than a career.

4. Pato Box - Punch-Out!! with a duck

Mexican studio Bromio made Pato Box as a love letter to Nintendo's Punch-Out!!. You play a boxer with a duck's head taking down a corrupt corporation, with first-person boss fights that test pattern reading and reflexes, linked by 3D exploration and light puzzles. The black-and-white comic-book look is the most stylish thing on this list.

Push Square praised the visual style and smooth 60fps but warned that bosses are not always well telegraphed and there are no checkpoints mid-fight, so it can be frustrating. The PS4 purchase also includes the PS Vita version.

5. Punch Club and Punch Club 2: Fast Forward - boxing as a management game

If you like the idea of a boxing career more than the act of punching, Punch Club is a pixel-art management sim from Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild. You split each day between work, food, sleep and gym time, choose a training path and climb the ranks while investigating your father's murder. Fights play out automatically based on your stats and the skills you pick.

The sequel, Punch Club 2: Fast Forward (July 20, 2023), moves the formula to a cyberpunk setting and is on both PS4 and PS5. The two are sold together in the One-Two Combo Bundle on the PlayStation Store. Neither is a pure boxing game, but they are the deepest single-player "career" experiences on PS4.

6. BoxVR (PS VR) - boxing for fitness

FitXR's BoxVR is a workout game, not a fighting game: you punch targets in time with music and duck incoming obstacles, in sessions from short warm-ups to hour-long classes. Pick it if your goal is cardio; pick Creed or Knockout League if you want an opponent who hits back.

Boxing games you cannot play on PS4

Several games show up in searches for PS4 boxing games but do not actually run on the console:

• Fight Night Champion (2011) - released on PS3, Xbox 360 and iOS. PS4 and PS5 cannot run PS3 discs, and the game was never re-released on PlayStation. On Xbox, it is playable on Xbox One and Series X|S through backward compatibility.
• Undisputed - Steel City Interactive's licensed boxing sim, originally announced as eSports Boxing Club and renamed in 2022, launched on October 11, 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC only. It has more than 70 licensed boxers.
• Creed: Rise to Glory - Championship Edition - a PS VR2 game for PS5, not PS4.
• The Thrill of the Fight - a popular VR boxing game on Meta Quest and PC VR with no PlayStation version.
• Boxing Champs - an arcade boxing game on Switch, Xbox One and PC, not PlayStation.

Also consider on PS5: Undisputed

If you have moved to a PS5, Undisputed is the boxing sim that PS4 never got. It was the first licensed boxing game since Fight Night Champion, developed by Steel City Interactive and published by Deep Silver, with a career mode and a roster of more than 70 licensed fighters. It spent time in Early Access on Steam from January 2023 before the full console release in October 2024.

On PS5 you can also play every PS4 game on this list, and PS VR2 owners can pick up Creed: Rise to Glory - Championship Edition instead of the original PS VR version.
