“Already 1 MILLION Street Fighter 6 players since the first weekend, it’s so nice,” professional combat player Kayane rejoiced on Twitter, without specifying what this figure takes into account. Seven years after the release of Street Fighter 5, players are looking forward to this new game.
A figure that reflects the number of players without defining the number of specific sales that has not yet been communicated.
Also keep in mind that according to Steam’s figures, Street Fighter 6 has hit the peak of 70,000 concurrent players on the platform.
More accessible
“Biggest launch ever for a paid fighting game on PC,” says video game expert Benji Sales on Twitter.
Kayane tested Street Fighter 6 with the Tech&Co team. He highlights in particular the effort in terms of accessibility and graphics: “I know that the art direction is divisive, but the game seems magnificent to me”, he raves.
“One of the new producers in particular has a very street-art, very hip-hop vision, who cares a lot about the new generation of players and is just looking to appeal to the old ones,” the player continues. A way to attract new players. A bet that succeeds for the Street Fighter teams, successful figures in support.
In this sixth version, the game itself is also revamped with a modern mode: a much more simplified game mode, which allows new players, who don’t know fighting games. This mode “allows them to enjoy the universe, learn to play a fighting game without having the necessary execution to be strong at the beginning”, Kayane emphasizes.
