The fighting game division within Capcom has struggled over the past decade, but that may very well change in the near future. Street Fighter 6 signifies the latest title in the iconic fighting franchise, one that will look to take the series into the next generation. So, when will Street Fighter 6 be released? We finally have an answer to that question, so let’s go over what you need to know.
Final release date for Street Fighter 6
During The Game Awards 2022, Capcom officially confirmed that Street Fighter 6 will be released on June 2, 2023. The game will be released on PC (via Steam) and on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
The 2023 launch window first came about in PlayStation’s live-streamed State of Play on June 2 of this year. The trailer that accompanied the announcement included Metro City, a town that’s been featured in the Final Fight series and had Mike Haggar as the mayor. A statue of him is showcased in the trailer. “Experience a brand new era of Street Fighter with a system built for creativity, vibrant art direction, and new modes that will reimagine the fighting game genre,” said Capcom in a tweet shortly after the second trailer went live.
