A little over a month since its release on June 2, Street Fighter 6 has now sold over two million copies, Capcom has announced. It’s an impressive milestone for the storied franchise, especially considering the release of other major games in June including Diablo IV and Final Fantasy XVI. The game passed the one million mark rather quickly after its launch, so it’s encouraging to see that sales are still going strong.
In our review of Street Fighter 6, we suggested that this entry will be as transformative for the series as Monster Hunter World was for the Monster Hunter franchise. The addition of Modern controls and the robust single-player World Tour mode has attracted a whole new audience to Street Fighter, many of whom have little to no prior experience with fighting games.
The game is set to welcome its first new fighter, Rashid, on July 24 as part of the Year 1 Character Pass.
