The next installment in the Street Fighter franchise will soon be tackled by a larger number of players.
Waiting for Street Fighter 6 release won’t be long anymore. Now there is less than a month to wait, because the title is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2023. So, just days before hack ‘n slash fans jump on Diablo 4, it’s all about fighting game fans ready to let off steam across the PC, PS5, and Xbox series. In fact, they might even do it sooner than expected!
A beta open to all
It’s been seven years since Street Fighter 5 saw the light of day. Suffice it to say that gamers are waiting at the turn for the sixth major work of the franchise. The various trailers have been reassuring, as has the early feedback from players. And for good reason, many have already been able to get closer via closed betas. But it’s a bit to everyone’s surprise that Capcom has just announced the establishment of a new beta ahead of the game’s release, “a bit” because it was the subject of a leak from a streamer last month. And the good news is that this time it’s open! Therefore, as long as you are of the required age, whether you have a PC, PS5 or Xbox series and link your platform to your Capcom account, you can test the long-awaited street fighter 6.
This open beta will run from May 19th (starting at 8am) to May 22nd (simultaneously). The program features eight playable characters u “Tons of Mods” not specified. Note the presence of crossplay, which allows you to play online against players from any platform. As stated on the official page, it is therefore the same content as the December 2022 closed beta, but with rebalancing.
An already playable demo for Street Fighter 6
Dedicated at the end of April on the occasion of a showcase street fighter 6, Capcom had a nice surprise in store for fans: a playable demo before the game was released! Available for several weeks, unfortunately it didn’t have much to offer. Only playable by players who have pre-ordered the game on PS4 or PS5, it’s also quite sparse in content with only two playable characters. So the open beta, available from Friday 19th, is a great opportunity to get a more global take on what’s in store for you in June.
