Three modes in one fighting game

Developed and published by Capcom on the RE ENGINE, Street Fighter 6 launched on 2 June 2023 on PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series X|S, then on Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 June 2025. Fighting Ground gathers classic fights and the new Drive Gauge system. World Tour is a single-player story mode with RPG elements, where you create an avatar and learn from the series' fighters. Battle Hub is the online space for fighting other players and replaying Capcom classics. Three control types, Classic, Modern and Dynamic, let players match the controls to their skill level.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (9/10) praises an outstanding sequel: a deep yet approachable fighting system, smart onboarding for newcomers, a very enjoyable World Tour mode, almost flawless rollback netcode and plenty of content on day one; it regrets slightly muddled menus and some graphical low points. TheSixthAxis (10/10, PS5) calls it a technical fighting game masterpiece, with excellent training modes and tutorials, plenty of offline content and a Battle Hub with a great sense of community; its only complaint is a slightly weak main World Tour story.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026: the standard edition costs €39.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store (PS5), the Xbox Store and the Nintendo eShop (Switch 2). The Years 1-2 Fighters Edition, which adds the Year 1 and Year 2 Character Passes plus extra stages and colours, costs €59.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. Subscription prices, Character Passes, packs sold separately and the Steam commercial licence are not listed in the offers. The PS4 version, the Years 1-2 Fighters Edition on Switch 2 and physical editions were not checked.

Who is it for?

Fighting game veterans and newcomers alike, thanks to Modern controls and tutorials, as well as players looking for a more substantial single-player mode than the genre usually offers.

Press average
