The DremHack series is back with one more event in 2023. For DreamHack Atlanta Fighters 2023, there’s going to be a decent spread of fighting games. We’ve seen these expand quite a bit, especially over the most recent 2023 instalments of the tournament series. What exactly is being featured at DreamHack Atlanta for fighting games though? Most of the biggest fighting games are getting dedicated tournaments, with some impressive prize pools too. These are the events we’re expecting over the 3-day event.
One of the biggest events for DreamHack Fighters Atlanta 2023 won’t be too big of a surprise, it’s Street Fighter 6. This has been one of the biggest games in every fighting game event so far. It makes sense to be an important tournament here. There’s a $5,000 prize pool here and some of the best Street Fighter 6 players are showing up like Punk and IDom.
The next biggest release for 2023 is MK 1, which is also getting a big event here. There are over 100 players taking part to compete for part of the $3,000 prize pool here.
The next tournament featured at DreamHack Fighters Atlanta 2023 is Tekken 7. This one is a tad smaller with a $2,000 prize pool. There are more than 100 players taking part though.
Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising has only just been released, with early access starting earlier this week. We’re getting a release window tournament here though. There’s a prize pool of $1,500 and we’ll get to see how the game plays in a competitive setting.
Two different Smash Bros games will be featured at Atlanta! We’ll see impressive tournaments happening for both Melee and Ultimate.
The final tournament for DreamHack Fighters Atlanta 2023 is Guilty Gear Strive. This is one of the best anime fighting games and always fun to see in these competitions. Here, we’ll see more than 100 players compete for a $1,500 prize pool.
Those are all of the games that we’ll see featured in DreamHack Fighters in Atlanta. This is our final event for 2023, so hopefully Fighters rounds off its biggest year so far with a bang.

The new DreamHack Atlanta FGC Ballroom is giving players much more space to get into things for fighters. Having a dedicated space like this is a great showing of how important DreamHack Fighters is becoming.
