Here’s just some of the praise from games media outlets. Developer Capcom is likely hoping that its efforts pay off in attracting a much broader audience with this title.

New to Street Fighter 6 is also an alternative control scheme that simplifies things into four buttons, and eliminates the need for complex inputs – catered to beginners, but still viable (and legal) at a professional tournament level.

The game also includes a socially-orientated online multiplayer mode that recreates the feel of being in an arcade, as well as a slew of tutorials and training options for coming to grips with specific characters. The star of the show is World Tour, a single-player RPG adventure that spans the globe, and sees players train a rookie fighter to be the best in the world – with a bit of guidance from the Street Fighter cast. The latest instalment of the long-running 2D one-on-one fighting game series has launched with a very full package, likely a direct response to the comparatively barebones release of its predecessor, Street Fighter 5. Those games will likely be hoping for the same kind of reception that Street Fighter 6 has received from critics ahead of its launch on 2 June 2023, because reviews are all wildly positive. 2023 might well be a bumper year for the fighting game genre, with Street Fighter 6 kicking things off and paving the path for titles like Mortal Kombat 1, and potentially Tekken 8.
