Is there a stickman fighting game on Switch, PS5 or Xbox?
People search this every month and get a wall of mobile store listings back. Here is the straight answer per platform, what is actually worth buying, and why almost nothing in this genre is on a console at all.
Switch: yes. Stick Fight: The Game, and it is Switch 2 compatible. One Finger Death Punch 2 as well.
PS5: nothing built for it. The PS4 Stick Fight runs on a PS5 through backward compatibility, and it is in the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog, so you may already have it.
Xbox: yes, both of them. Series X and S play the Xbox One versions.
Steam and PC: the widest choice by a distance.
Two things to know before you buy: Stick Fight has no single player mode, and One Finger Death Punch 2 is single player only. One is useless alone, the other is useless with friends.
The famous free ones you have seen on YouTube, Supreme Duelist Stickman and Stickman Warriors, are Android and iOS only. Neither is on Switch, PlayStation or Xbox.
Nintendo Switch
Stick Fight: The Game is the one nearly everybody means when they search for a stickman fight on Switch. It is $7.50 on the eShop and it is Nintendo Switch 2 compatible. Two to four stick figures, guns, physics, maps that fall apart, couch or online. It is closer to a party game than a fighting game: there is no block button and very little you would call a move, and that is on purpose.
Check this before you buy it: Stick Fight has no single player mode at all. Its own store page says so in the features list. If you do not have someone to play with, locally or online, there is nothing in it for you.
One Finger Death Punch 2 is on Switch as well. It is the closest thing on a console to a stick figure fighting game that is about timing rather than chaos, and it is the one I would tell a fighting game player to try. It is single player only, which is the mirror image of the problem above.
Beyond those two, the eShop carries a long tail of cheap stickman-titled games. Some are fine, most are not, and the screenshots rarely tell you which. Check the video, not the stills, and check the player count.
PS5 and PS4
This is the platform where the honest answer is the least satisfying. There is no well known stickman fighting game built for PS5. What there is: Stick Fight: The Game shipped on PS4 in December 2021, and a PS5 plays it through backward compatibility, which is why "stickman fight ps5" and "stickman fight ps4" are really the same question with the same answer.
It is $7.49, and it is included in the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog, so if you have that tier you may already own it. The same no-single-player warning applies.
One Finger Death Punch 2 is not on PlayStation at all. Searching the PlayStation store for it returns nothing. So if you are on PlayStation and you want the one on one, frame data kind of stick figure fight, it does not exist there.
Xbox
Xbox is the platform with both. Stick Fight: The Game is $7.49 and One Finger Death Punch 2 is $8.99. The original One Finger Death Punch goes back to the 360 era, which is why "stickman fight xbox 360" still turns up as a search. Xbox Series X and S play the Xbox One versions, so there is nothing to wait for.
Steam and PC
PC has the most of everything here, and it is the cheapest: Stick Fight is $4.99 on Steam and One Finger Death Punch 2 is $7.99, both below their console prices. Add a steady stream of smaller stick figure brawlers and animation-led experiments. If you are not tied to a console, this is where the genre has the most range.
Where the genre actually lives
The stick figure fight is a phone genre and a video genre before it is a console genre. It grew out of stick figure animation on YouTube and TikTok, where a good fight is thirty seconds long and gets watched by people who will never install anything, and out of free mobile games that get found the same way.
Consoles got the part of that which translates: four friends, a sofa, physics, chaos. The part that did not translate is the one on one fight with a block button and real frame data, because that is a hard thing to sell at console prices to an audience that found the genre for free.

What we are building, and where it runs
Since this post exists partly because we are in this genre, the honest disclosure: STIX Duel is being built for iPhone and Android. There is no console version, and none is planned.
That is a decision, not a gap we hope to fill later. The game is six buttons and a stick on a touch screen, every fight ends in a slow motion knockout that is worth recording, and the thing people do with it is send the clip to someone. That loop is a phone loop. Putting it on a controller would cost the thing that makes it work.
What it does have, and what almost nothing above has, is a block button that changes the fight and moves with real frame data, all of it traced by hand rather than generated. Every attack in the build is on one page, frame by frame, with the contact frame marked.
Questions people ask
Is Supreme Duelist Stickman on Switch?
No. It is an Android and iOS game and has stayed there.
Is there a two player stickman fight on console?
Yes, and it is the one thing consoles do better than phones here. Stick Fight takes two to four players on one screen or online. If local multiplayer is the point, a console is the right place to look, and it is the only way Stick Fight works at all.
Is Stick Fight: The Game a fighting game?
Not in the Street Fighter sense. There are no move inputs, no block and no frame data to learn. It is a physics brawler with guns, and it is very good at being that. Its own store page lists "2 to 4 players in either Local or Online Multiplayer" and no single player mode.
Will STIX Duel come to Switch or PS5?
No. Phones only, free, with the founder programme below for people who want the beta early.
