Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (abbreviated to DOA5 Ultimate or DOA5U) is a 2013 fighting game developed by Team Ninja and published by Tecmo Koei for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was followed by an arcade edition later in 2013. It is the first arcade game to be officially released by Koei Tecmo since Dead or Alive 2 Millennium in 2000. DOA5 Ultimate is an expanded edition of 2012's Dead or Alive 5, incorporating some features from the PlayStation Vita's Dead or Alive 5 Plus as well as additional content, including five characters that are new or returning to the series (including two Ninja Gaiden characters), a comprehensive story mode, as well as gameplay system tweaks and expansions, many of them in the online multiplayer tag team mode (including an introduction of two-on-two tag team battles). The game received generally favorable reviews. A free-to-play cut version of DOA5 Ultimate, titled Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters, was released on the PlayStation Store alongside the retail game. The arcade edition Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade was released on 24 December 2013, distributed by Sega. 5 Ultimate was followed by Dead or Alive 5 Last Round in 2015.
