To coincide with the launch of Nintendo’s new console, Capcom released a special version of Street Fighter 6 tailored for the Switch 2. This version introduces unique features that take advantage of the Joy-Con 2’s gyro controls and even includes exclusive modes optimized for on-the-go play. Perhaps most importantly, it also supports full crossplay, enabling seamless matchmaking with players on other platforms.

Capcom said this platform expansion is part of its larger goal to “maximize the game’s user base”—and it seems to be working. Since launch, Street Fighter 6 has enjoyed steady global sales growth, with the new milestone of 5 million copies reflecting that broader reach.

This latest achievement adds to an already impressive track record for the game. At launch, Street Fighter 6 was praised for its bold new mechanics, refined gameplay, and feature-rich content, including its expansive World Tour mode and robust online infrastructure. Capcom has continued to build on that foundation, keeping fans engaged through regular balance updates, events, and downloadable characters.

A Strong Future for Street Fighter

Looking ahead, Street Fighter 6’s post-launch roadmap remains strong. Capcom has lined up a new season of DLC fighters through 2026, featuring both returning legends and fresh additions to the roster. That continued support suggests the company is committed to meeting—and possibly surpassing—its long-term goal of 10 million lifetime sales.
