The streets will get some fights soon
Capcom will be hosting an open beta forStreet Fighter 6ahead of its launch. The open beta will run from May 19 through May 21, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
To register and take part in the open beta, you’ll need to register a Capcom ID and link your platform. You’ll want to register early, because chances are high that the initial rush may be a lot.
The content in the open beta will be the same as the second closed beta test. That includes avatar creation and character creation (though you can only create once), ranked matches, casual matches, battle hub matches, training mode, the game center, and more.
Eight playable characters will be in the open beta: Luke, Jamie, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Kimberly, Juri, and Ken.
Additionally, there will be cross-platform play, the special commentary features, and other features too. You can head over to link your ID andpre-register for the open beta here.
Taking it to the streets
It won’t be long now until the newStreet Fightergets underway, and by all accounts so far, it’s looking pretty strong. The matches I played locally atPAX Eastleft a pretty strong impression on me already. And here’s an excerpt of what our residentStreet Fighteraficionado Chris Moyse had to say afterhis recent hands-on:
“WithStreet Fighter 6, Capcom is hoping to see its flagship fighting series, one that defined the genre itself, make a grand challenge for its (lost?) fighting game throne, offering fans old and new a fully-featured and engaging sequel that has learned from the mistakes of its past, while evolving its entire pedigree for a bold and electrifying future.”
You’ll be able to get a sense ofStreet Fighter 6yourself later this month with the open beta, running May 19 through 21. Then,Street Fighter 6will officially launch on June 2.
