Get Ready to Fight: Street Fighter 6 Giveaway Starts Now!

In celebration of Street Fighter 6 reaching one million players, Capcom is giving all players a free in-game surprise. Despite concerns following the limited success of Street Fighter 5's launch in 2016, Capcom seems thrilled with the reception of Street Fighter 6, and players are reaping the rewards. The game was released last Friday on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, and while initial sales figures are not yet available, early indicators suggest that the launch has been a resounding success for Capcom. In fact, Street Fighter 6's launch has broken records and become the most popular fighting game release in history based on concurrent players on Steam, with over 70,000 players at one point, a stark contrast to Street Fighter 5's peak of under 15,000.

Capcom has officially announced that Street Fighter 6 has surpassed one million players, making it a significant milestone for the game. This is a notable achievement, especially when compared to the estimated sales figures for Street Fighter 5, which reportedly sold fewer than 500,000 copies during its first week of release. While online players do not necessarily equate to total copies sold, it is still an impressive feat for Street Fighter 6.

To celebrate this accomplishment, Capcom is giving away a free title to all current Street Fighter 6 players. The title, "Just Picked Up SF6," is a great way for new players to showcase their enthusiasm for the game and acknowledge that they are just starting out. While it may not be a significant reward, it's a nice gesture from Capcom to show appreciation for their player base.

The Street Fighter franchise has achieved an impressive milestone, surpassing 50 million copies sold, with Street Fighter 6 contributing to this figure. Despite being a relatively new addition, Street Fighter 6 has the potential to become the franchise's most successful game in history. The buzz surrounding the game is unparalleled, with high viewership for livestreams and in-person tournaments, as well as a thriving community both within and outside the game. Capcom's sales goal of 10 million lifetime sales for Street Fighter 6 seems attainable, as the game is already on track to reach that number.

Street Fighter 6 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
