The Street Fighter 6 Collector’s Edition will cost $249.99 USD and includes the full game, and a number of physical goodies. These include:

A MadGear Box
A Good Smile Company Pop Up Parade Figures of Luke and Kimberly
A Sticker Set
An Art Book
Figure Diorama Boards

The Collector’s Edition also comes with some digital goodies. The digital content bonus includes the “Ultimate Pass” DLC bundle. The Ultimate Pass includes the Year 1 Character Pass, which grants access to four DLC characters to be released over Street Fighter 6‘s first year. Additionally, the Ultimate Pass unlocks two additional costumes and alternate colors for the four Year 1 DLC characters. Players will gain access to two additional stages as well, and gain 7,700 Drive Tickets. Drive Tickets are a form of currency used to buy character customization items in the in-game shop. They can be earned in-game or bought via microtransaction.

As for those wanting to take part for the first time, the official Capcom website is now accepting applications for new participants. But, as detailed by the studio, selection is handled via lottery and is not on a first-come, first-served basis, which means applying doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be picked to take part in the beta. Full details can be found on Capcom’s website.

Street Fighter 6 will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 2nd 2023. Pre-orders for the upcoming title are now live on the respective platform’s store, or via the official Street Fighter 6 website.

The game will have a real-time commentary feature, which will have commentary from famous fighting game community commentators highlighting aspects of the match as it progresses. The feature will have subtitles available in 13 languages, and will feature the commentators Vicious and Aru as well as Japanese commentator and caster Kōsuke Hiraiwa, and Sekima II band frontman Demon Kakka (formerly Demon Kogure).

The game’s returning cast includes Ryu, Chun-li, and Luke, the final playable DLC character for Street Fighter V. New to the franchise is Jamie, a breakdancing kickboxer. The launch roster also includes characters Manon, Kimberly, Marisa, Lily, JP, Juri, Dee Jay, Cammy, E. Honda, Blanka, Guile, Ken, Zangief, and Dhalsim.

New to the game’s fighting mechanics is the Drive system, which features a resource gauge that players can use to perform five different techniques: a super armor move, a parry, EX (enhanced) special moves, a forward-moving rush attack, and a low damage reversal. The game will also include a classic control scheme, as well as a “modern” control scheme that makes specials easier to input.

Aside from previous fighting game modes — such as local and online versus, arcade mode, and training mode — the game will also have a single player “World Tour” mode, and a “Battle Hub” that will provide “players with new and unique ways to engage, communicate and interact.” It will also include an optional versus mode called “Extreme Battle” that includes interactable items, stage elements, and different objectives.
