Tekken 8 was released recently on January 26, 2024, and once again, Bandai Namco has done the unthinkable. With a base roster of over 30+ characters, rock-solid gameplay, and an over-the-top storyline with a brilliant ending fight, Tekken 8 is truly one of the best fighting games out there right now. So much so that some even think it’s better than its predecessor, Tekken 7. Fans certainly seem to be having a great time with it, but many want something more to elevate the fun. This is where mods come in.
Without mods, the PC gaming scene would be nowhere near what it is now. From Minecraft to Starfield, no matter if the game is indie or AAA, mods have and continue to make gaming fun and refreshing for fans. Tekken 7 had a pretty great modding scene, and Tekken 8 players expect the same thing from it too. So, continue reading to find out all the best mods for Tekken 8 you can enjoy right now.
Best Tekken 8 mods that you should try

One of the most demanded guest characters for Tekken has been Final Fantasy VII’s Tifa Lockhart. And while she is yet to make her debut in the series, modders have found an alternative of sorts. The Tifa Lockhart Cosplay For All Female Characters mod, as you might have guessed already, is a cosmetic mod that allows players to dress female fighters in the game as Tifa using the customization mode.
Enhanced Tekken 8 Visuals –

As the name suggests, this particular mode helps enhance the game’s visuals by disabling certain effects and enabling others. That’s not all, though. The mod also adds some effects of its own and even gives you “an optional increase in the internal resolution of the game.” The NexusMods page of the mod mentions the following effects, which it disables and enables:
Disabled:
- Vignette
- Motion Blur
- Lens Flare
- Film Gran
- Chromatic Aberration
- Bloom
Enabled
- Anisotropic filtering
- Sharpen
As we stated before, you can also increase the default resolution of Tekken 8. Currently, the mod offers five options to the players: 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200. 100 is the default, with 150 or 125 recommended. While you can increase it further, do so only if your PC will be able to handle it.
Force PlayStation Buttons over Xbox Buttons

This is going to be perfect for players who are more familiar with PlayStation button layouts than Xbox or Nintendo. Once installed, this mod will force PlayStation Controller buttons over Xbox buttons. Furthermore, it also color codes the face button for the move list commands using the PlayStation coloring scheme, as stated by the modder. Additionally, one thing you should note is that players should not try to install the Move List Face Buttons Color Coding mod by the same modder, as it’s incompatible with that.
No-Splash Fix

Believe it or not, some players find Tekken 8’s splash screen quite annoying. And if you happen to be one of them, then this is perfect for you. Install this mod and you will get no splash screen in the game going forward.

Note that it’s a totally cosmetic mod and offers no gameplay benefit.
