Summary

  • Street Fighter 6 sells 4 million units globally, marking a huge milestone for the franchise.
  • The game's success is attributed to improved graphics, new gameplay mechanics, and new characters like Terry and Mai.

Street Fighter 6 has sold four million units globally. As the latest entry in Capcom's juggernaut franchise, Street Fighter 6 released to multiple platforms in June 2023. Since then, it has been said that the franchise has sold more than 50 million units overall, dating back to the first Street Fighter in 1987. With seven mainline games, and over 20 variations and versions of previous titles, many fans claim that the series' success continues to grow indefinitely.

The current game demonstrates the massive leap the series has taken from the very first title in terms of both graphics and gameplay. Many players appreciate the familiar characters, but they also enjoy the modern take coupled with the upgraded mechanics. And while the game builds on the formula that the first entry in the series established, it also explores new concepts like Street Fighter 6's Drive System. This is why many die-hard fans claim that Street Fighter, as a whole, continues to flourish. While gamers may think that way, Street FIghter 6's recent achievement may prove that point.

Street Fighter 6's Twitter account thanked the fans for the support as the game reached an incredible sales milestone. The post stated that the title has sold more than four million units globally. The announcement also confirmed that the team is working to run more events and introduce new content. With the likes of Fatal Fury's Terry and Mai joining Street Fighter 6, it wouldn't be too surprising to see other franchises collaborate with Street Fighter in general.

What Do Players Expect in Street Fighter 6's Future?

While the gaming community celebrated the huge achievement with the team, some users in the comments section hoped that the development team would give out a surprise. Some suggestions were for the developers to give out free Street Fighter 6 costumes that players can download. Others hoped that some special events would be held to mark the milestone. While no confirmation was given by the developers, many still chimed in with their own wishes.

As the game continues forward, upcoming improvements have also been shared. The introduction of Replay Takeover and V-Rival to Street Fighter 6 should help entice players even more. It will come in an update alongside Terry Bogard's Street Fighter debut. The development team has stated in many different interviews that it hopes to be able to include more new content in the future, and many players hope that a bright future is ahead for Street Fighter fans everywhere.
