If you’re looking for a fight, you just found it. After the launch of the demo, Capcom puts on the table the real highlight of Street Fighter 6: from the may 19 the first will be held open beta of the game And with it comes the opportunity to get out of the comfort of the story mode and fully enter the competitive essence that triumphed in the arcades and eight fighters with whom to play the guy. Nothing bad.
The final appetizer for the countdown to the launch of the game and the true litmus test for the imminent return of the World Warriors. Which enables a real barbarity of questions. Of course, in iGamesNews We have each and every one of the answers. Let’s start with the most important.
When and where will the Open Beta be and what do I need?
The beta period of Street Fighter 6 will take place on PS5, Xbox Series X /S and Steam Friday May 19, 2023
As essential data, no active subscription needed to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold to play online during the trial. On the other hand, and on all systems, in order to play the open beta test, it is necessary to link a platform account to a CAPCOM ID.
If you are going to play from PC, we recommend you take a look at the minimum and recommended requirements of the game. That being said, all versions will offer crossplay.

By way of illustration, the requirements correspond to those of the final version of Street Fighter 6, although there is an important nuance: by the time the game comes out we will need 60 GB of space. In any case, it will be a great opportunity to calibrate the team for the competition.
On the other hand, the pre-download of the beta is done independently of the demo and its pre-download will be enabled on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. (Spanish time).
What’s included in the Street Fighter 6 beta
As we mentioned just above, the objective of the beta does not overlap what is offered with the Demo of Street Fighter 6. In fact, we won’t even keep any progress we make on it. What’s more, the contents will be the same as the closed beta that already took place in December 2022, including qualified wrestlers.

In addition to the above, it is possible to edit and customize our avatar for the Battle Hub, although it is not possible to buy additional fighter coins. In fact, Capcom will enable a set amount during the beta.
What are the differences compared to the Demo of Street Fighter 6
The raison d’être of the beta is to offer a preview of the online experience with much more content and variety than the demo. In fact, in the open beta we will not have access to the story mode, but we will be able to play with many more characters and settings.
In fact, there is a significant detail: we will be able to fight through the classic (six buttons) and modern (simplified) game modes, but not dynamic, which is intended for our character to fight casually by hitting buttons and is disabled in online games.
And that is precisely where the highlight is: Capcom will allow everyone to participate in online battles in the Battle Hub, which was the great mode absent from the demo. Being, in addition, an opportunity to see how the netcode of this installment performs.
Elements that aligned are the perfect prelude to the launch of Street Fighter 6: Ryu, Chun Li and the rest of the street fighters will hit PCs and consoles again starting on June 2, 2023. It’s time to warm up!
