Street Fighter 6 represents the next evolution of the series and a new generation of fighting games, launching seven years after the previous title in the franchise.

Further, in recent years the series has increased its presence as a driving force in the fighting game genre of esports. Even today, more than 35 years since Street Fighter first debuted, the series still enjoys immense popularity across the globe with cumulative sales for the series totaling over 50 million units worldwide. That's not all though, as the publisher even set up a handful of somewhat bizarre partnerships between Street Fighter and other brands including Rebook and Chipotle.The first title in the Street Fighter series was released as an arcade game in 1987, followed by the global smash hit Street Fighter II in 1991 which generated mass excitement due to its innovative battle system. Street Fighter 6 also got off to a strong start on PC where it became Steam’s most-played fighting game of all time by concurrent player count, beating out the likes of Mortal Kombat 11, Tekken 7, and predecessor Street Fighter 5 on Valve's platform.Ĭapcom certainly did a lot to ensure fighting game fans knew Street Fighter 6 was on the way too, hosting a series of betas for the game following its announcement in 2022. With the launch of Street Fighter 6, the series has sold over 50 million copies, and Capcom celebrated the achievement by gifting all players the “Just Picked Up SF6” profile title. The fighting game launched on June 2 to critical acclaim ( with IGN's 9/10 review calling it a knockout) and plenty of players seem to be enjoying it too.
