It’s almost time for gamers to start using their virtual fists to communicate once more. It’s almost time for Capcom’s Street Fighter 6, and we believe we know when you can actually begin playing it.
Street Fighter 6 Release
Capcom unveiled a fresh Street Fighter 6 clip during The Game Awards 2022. In addition to teasing a number of characters, this presentation also made it official that Street Fighter 6 will be published on June 2, 2023. Capcom hasn’t provided any details on the precise release date of the eagerly awaited fighter, but it doesn’t appear to be veering from this plan.
Capcom normally adheres to the release timetable it followed for games like Resident Evil 4 Remake, though. Therefore, it is anticipated that Street Fighter 6 would launch at midnight local time in every global location. In other words, Street Fighter 6 will start at midnight PST, midnight CT, midnight ET, midnight BST, and so on. At that time, the game will be accessible on all supported systems (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC). Gamers might anticipate being able to employ the New Zealand Time Zone Trick to begin playing a few hours early if the anticipated release timetable holds true.

This anticipated release date only pertains to digital versions of Street Fighter 6 as is customary. If you pre-ordered a physical copy, you will have to either wait until June 2 when stores open or wait until that day for the mail to come. Additionally, if you purchased your copy from a retailer that offers delivery, like Amazon, you will also need to make an offering to the postal delivery gods in order for your game to arrive on schedule and in good condition.
In addition, contrary to some rumours, Street Fighter 6 won’t offer Early Access right away. The Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game come with a number of benefits, but early access to the entire game is not one of them. You’ll have to wait to play the game, unless you can use the aforementioned New Zealand technique.
You should probably install Street Fighter 6 in advance if you plan to play your pre-ordered copy when the clocks strike midnight. You can, although the pre-load period’s timing is a little odd.
Owners of PlayStation 5 consoles can begin installing Street Fighter 6 on May 31, while PC users can begin installing it on June 1. Meanwhile, since Capcom hasn’t officially announced a pre-load time for the platform, Xbox Series X/S owners are practically being treated like Dan Hibiki. Since Street Fighter 6 will need 50–60 GB of space, it’s possible that Xbox Series X/S users won’t be able to install it before launch. Xbox owners anticipate finally being able to download the game on May 31 or June 1, but that information is not yet guaranteed.
Street Fighter 6’s complete version won’t be out for a few days, but you can still play the demo. Players may expect a taste of the characters and game styles in this version. The demo only offers two playable characters, but it is more concerned with the new avatar system than it is with letting players practise. Players may take their creations for a spin in the combat arena in addition to playing about with the character creation menu and creating the street fighter of their dreams (or nightmares) during the demo.
And yes, players that play on the same platform and don’t remove their save data can move their customised avatars from the Street Fighter 6 demo to the full game.
