Mega Man X6, known as Rockman X6 (ロックマンX6) in Japan, is a video game developed and published by Capcom. It is the sixth main entry in the Mega Man X series. The game was first released on the PlayStation in Japan on November 29, 2001 and was later made available in both North America and Europe.

The plot of Mega Man X6 takes place during the 22nd century where humans and intelligent robots called "Reploids" live together. The game follows shortly after the events of Mega Man X5 in which planet Earth was devastated by an attack by the "Maverick" leader Sigma and the protagonist Zero sacrificed his own life to save it. As the world recovers, a Maverick known only as the "Zero Nightmare" has begun spreading chaos. Zero's comrade Mega Man X, curious of its name, seeks out this new threat. Like past games in the series, Mega Man X6 is an action-platformer in which the player tackles a series of stages and adds the unique weapon of each boss to X's arsenal.

Prominent series artist and producer Keiji Inafune was not involved in the game's production, as he had intended the fifth installment in the series to be the last with Zero's death. Critically, Mega Man X6 has received mixed to positive reviews. The game was released for the Windows in different parts of Asia in 2002 and 2003. It was also re-released in 2006 as part of the North American Mega Man X Collection for the GameCube and PlayStation 2. Mega Man X6 was made available on the PlayStation Network as part of the PSOne Classics line on July 8, 2015 in Japan.

The story begins three weeks after Mega Man X5, with Zero missing, presumed dead and the Earth's surface rendered uninhabitable due to the fall of the colony Eurasia. X is assigned to destroy a Maverick in a zone where he briefly encounters a being reminiscent to Zero, although the being is purple instead of red. X then meets the scientist Isoc and his subordinate High Max, who are in the search of the Zero-like being labeled as Nightmare. Isoc invites the Reploids to join his cause to destroy the Nightmare virus which is turning the population into Mavericks.

X also goes to explore the zones to investigate the Nightmare phenomena and find Zero's doppelganger. Across his journey X encounters Isoc's eight researchers who have actually been infected by the Nightmare and became Mavericks. During his battles, X can also encounter Zero's doppelganger and defeat him. Following this, the real Zero reappears unaware of how he managed to survive his battle against Sigma. Following the defeat of the eight investigators or High Max, X meets finds the lead researcher, Gate. Using a piece from Zero's damaged body, Gate created the Nightmare virus alongside the Zero Nightmare in an attempt to create his own utopia.

The Maverick Hunters go to Gate's laboratory to put to a stop to his plans. Following Gate's defeat, he reveals he has rebuilt Sigma, the leader of the Mavericks, but Sigma is not fully rebuilt and is only partially coherent. However, Sigma nearly kills Gate and challenges his old enemies. After his first form is destroyed, Sigma takes on a large, bronze battle body and once again attempts to destroy the heroes, with his sanity slipping. The Maverick is once again defeated and the endings depend on which character defeats Sigma. If X defeats Sigma, he rescues Gate so that Alia, his previous comrade, could rebuild him. A similar ending is shown if X did not find Zero who decides not to return to fight. Should Zero defeat Sigma, he requests to be sealed in to order to remove the lingering Sigma Virus component from his body.
