Attention to all of you fighting game fans, Capcom is giving you another chance to play Street Fighter 6 before it hits the store shelves. The highly anticipated game will have an Open Beta test that’s set to happen just weeks before the official launch.
According to Capcom, an Open Beta test for Street Fighter VI is scheduled to run from May 19-21. The early access run will be available across multiple platforms, including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and the PC.
Therefore, gamers worldwide can get a taste of the action, regardless of their preferred gaming platform.
To participate, players will need to sign up and get a Capcom ID and use it to link their console or PC.
The Open Beta test for Street Fighter 6 will let players check out the eight characters from the upcoming game, namely:
- Luke
- Jamie
- Ryu
- Chun-Li
- Guile
- Kimberly
- Juri
- Ken
The initial lineup of character rosters should give players enough of an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the game dynamics and mechanics to give them a head start before its official release.
Capcom’s decision to offer an Open Beta test isn’t just for promotion. It’s an opportunity to gather player feedback as well as identify potential issues that could affect gameplay. This way, the development team can implement all of the necessary changes to make sure that a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience awaits players upon launch.
Keep in mind that one of the biggest reasons why Street Fighter V had an uphill climb when it came out was because of its online play.
Capcom will want to make sure that Street Fighter 6 doesn’t suffer from the same fate.
Ultimately, the Street Fighter 6 Open Beta represents an exciting prospect for both new and veteran players of the series. It’s a glimpse into the latest installment of the beloved franchise while also providing a platform for players to influence the final product.
