Street Fighter 6 offers the most flexible, versatile, and expressive combat seen in the series to date. With its fantastic suite of game modes and diverse character roster, Street Fighter 6 has something to offer every type of fighting game fan.
Minor technical issues and questionable monetization scuff what is otherwise one of the best fighting games we’ve seen in the last decade.
Street Fighter 6 is the most feature-rich a Street Fighter has ever been at launch, but even beyond that, it’s roster of 18 characters is excellent, the new mechanics revitalize the one-on-one fighting formula, and it absolutely nails all of the little things that make for a stellar fighting game.

AnaitGames | Víctor Manuel Martínez García | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Capcom's classic game is back with a new installment that combines technical and competitive gameplay with new mechanics and modes to open up to new audiences. | Read review |
Ars Technica | Aurich Lawson | Recommended | 05-30-2023 | Dynamic mode provides the true button-mashing experience. I like to think of it as a "kid brother" mode. There are only three buttons, and they perform different attacks depending on which one you press and the range from which you press it. With a single button, you can throw a fireball from across the screen, punch someone when closer to them, or execute a throw while up in their face. A combo button makes you jump in for an attack from a distance or execute several moves in a row from up close. It's so easy that it feels like cheating, but with a little practice, I was able to feel in control of my actions. | Read review |
Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 90 / 100 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is the redemption of the series. The way it presents a huge amount of content will make fans smile. The only setback is the poor execution of the World Tour. | Read review |
Attack of the Fanboy | Diego Perez | 4.5 / 5 stars | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 feels like a celebration of fighting games as a whole, offering newcomers one of the most in-depth onboarding programs ever seen in the form of the new World Tour mode and showing them what makes the FGC so special in the Battle Hub that awaits them when they're ready. | Read review |
Bazimag | Hamidreza Ghaneei | 9.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is an exceptional addition to this revered series, poised to secure its longevity for years to come. With its revolutionary combat mechanics and distinctive character designs, this title promises to captivate both players and spectators alike. Moreover, the implementation of novel control systems and offline modes, such as the Word Tour, offers new players a compelling incentive to explore the game. Overall, Street Fighter 6 is a masterpiece that has undoubtedly raised the bar for the entire franchise. | Read review |
But Why Tho? | Jason Payne | 10 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is accessible for players of any skill level. It’s open enough to new players but offers what fighter vets need to stay invested in a new title. Good net code, interesting characters, and new features that make it stick out from previous iterations are the things that ensure longevity in the community. | Read review |
CGMagazine | Zubi Khan | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 packs a punch and should not be missed by fans of Capcom's legendary fighting franchise, while new accessibility controls make the game more welcoming than ever. | Read review |
Checkpoint Gaming | Luke Mitchell | 8.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 provides the fast and furious action you'd expect from the refined fighting series, offering a dynamic cast of characters, new control modes to make it more accessible, and a variety of features to keep you busy. Its story mode is a campy take on the Street Fighter universe that doesn't always land the winning blow, however; while it's filled with distractions and civilian fighters to take on, it can be a little repetitive and shallow. Still, the technical foundations that Street Fighter stands on are as solid as ever, and with a whole world to battle online, there's a lot of fighting on the menu in what is once again a polished, exciting fighting experience that will keep fans engaged for years. | Read review |
Cubed3 | Luke Hemming | 7 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 in it's simplest form remains a fantastic, fun experience, retaining the same gameplay that has been tweaked and improved throughout the years to ensure it remains top of the pile. | Read review |

Fextralife | Castielle | 8.4 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Capcom delivers and checks the majority of the boxes when it comes to the classic and new features of Street Fighter 6. It heads down a different direction making it more casual while maintaining the core values of the game, allowing it to be a mainstream fighting game for all players. However, with its awkward performance on the PlayStation 4. The concern is, will World Tour have more content and will the performance issues be fixed. We hope these will be addressed. In the meantime, it is recommended to play Street Fighter 6 on current-gen consoles and PC to fully appreciate and enjoy this game. | Read review |
Game Informer | Elijah Gonzalez | 9.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Between its cohesive aesthetic, the bounty of clever features, and crisp central gameplay, it’s one of the most impressive entries the genre has seen in some time. | Read review |
Game Revolution | Michael Leri | 4 / 5 stars | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is a redemptive sequel that’s more complete and has a distinct style. Street Fighter 5 did eventually get better, but Street Fighter 6 has come out the gate swinging with a suite of deep mechanics with more intuitive ways to learn and master all of them. The single-player modes are lacking, and, in World Tour’s case, disastrous, but it’s a strong fighting game that packs quite a punch. | Read review |
GameGrin | Mike Crewe | 9.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | The most complete Street Fighter title to date, Street Fighter 6 is a must-play for fighting game fans, and one to consider even if you're not familiar with the genre. An engaging, stylish beat 'em up that could well be king of the mountain for years to come. | Read review |
Gamersky | 心灵奇兵 | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 simplifies its gameplay systems without losing depth. It allows players to perform moves with just one button, providing a sense of freedom. It also features a replayable single-player mode that will attract casual gamers new to fighting games. | Read review |
GamesBeat | Mike Minotti | 100 / 100 | 05-30-2023 | Those miniscule grips aside, this is a masterful fighting game experience that excels in all the ways you want it to. It’s another standout from Capcom, which has entered something of a new golden era thanks to its revitalization of Resident Evil and the broadening global appeal of Monster Hunter. Street Fighter 6 is further proof that Capcom is on top of the gaming world these days. | Read review |
GameSpot | Jason Fanelli | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Capcom's flagship fighter is back in form with intricate but approachable fighting mechanics and a feature-rich package. | Read review |

Gaming Nexus | Joseph Moorer | 10 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Capcom has given us a complete game right out of the box. The single player experiences are enormous. The online experience is perfect. Street Fighter lore is littered in every nook and cranny of this game. There are modes and modes within modes. This is one of the best Street Fighter games in the history of the franchise. If Capcom hurt you in the past, this is their apology. Street Fighter 6 is a new classic that people will be playing for years to come. | Read review |
GamingBolt | Ravi Sinha | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is more than the sum of its individually excellent parts. It's a return to form for a franchise that's been on the back foot for years, and a stellar fighting game as a whole. | Read review |
GamingTrend | Jack Zustiak, Abdul Saad | 95 / 100 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 takes the series to the next stage with a wildly fun fighting system that emphasizes personal choice. Each mainline Street Fighter tends to define its era of fighting games in some way, and Street Fighter 6 confidently steps forward to that next era. From its battle system to its bevvy of modes such as World Tour, it dives deep into everything that makes fighting games great. | Read review |
Generación Xbox | Pedro del Pozo | 9.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | The keys to Street Fighter 6 are undoubtedly three: Spectacular, spacious and accessible. Its combat is a marvel of fun and the Battle Hub looks to have us hooked for a long time, but if you just want to try it, play with friends from time to time and pass the story to a single player, the World Tour mode and the Modern control will delight you. Few buts we can put to the one who, at the moment, is crowned as King of the Fight in this 2023 that seems like one of the most interesting of the genre for almost a decade. Let Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8 hold on tight, because Street Fighter 6 is here to win. | Read review |
God is a Geek | Sean Smith | 10 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 is without question the best fighting game package I have ever played, and will keep you going far longer than a one-on-one fighter has any right to be able to. A true classic. | Read review |

Hobby Consolas | Daniel Quesada | 92 / 100 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 has managed to renew itself in everything necessary to become an essential. His attention to detail, his sense of spectacle, his great control and a thousand other virtues make him a milestone for the fight. | Read review |

IGN Italy | Diego Cinelli | 9.5 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Capcom once again sets a new standard for 2D fighting games. In addition to the advanced combat system and the excellent package of single-player modes, made up of numerous elements that find their balance in sharing the same resource (the Drive indicator), SF6 counts on more than a vast group of tutorials and alternative control schemes for every need. | Read review |

TheSixthAxis | Nick Petrasiti | 10 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 doesn't need recommending to hardcore fighting fans – you all already know how incredible it is – but do I recommend it for more casual players?

It includes everything Street Fighter 5 did, while the development team has added an entire Street Fighter open world RPG and an online MMO on top of it.

We Got This Covered | David James | 3 / 5 stars | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 delivers a deep, complex, and satisfying fighting game bristling with fun new characters and an excellent multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, all of that's shackled to a truly terrible single-player RPG that stands as one of the most embarrassing things Capcom has released in years. If you're here for online play, you'll love it. If you want single-player action, stay far away. | Read review |
Worth Playing | Cody Medellin | 9 / 10 | 05-30-2023 | Street Fighter 6 succeeds in its ambition to cram some big things into one fighting game. Battle Hub may be silly, but it has a lot more personality and more to do than most other titles with their own online lobbies. Fighting Ground does a great job of showing off the new roster and improvements to the fighting engine, while placing an equal amount of attention on both offline and online players. World Tour makes for a somewhat nonsensical yet addictive adventure that can serve as a good basis for a full-fledged Street Fighter RPG. All of this is tied together with a presentation that does well in improving what came before it, only with more fidelity and flash. As stated at the beginning of this review, fighting game fans are going to have a good year, and Street Fighter 6 is an excellent component of that. | Read review |
Game Info
The evolution of fighting games starts with our traditional Fighting Ground, and then we’re turning the genre on its head with World Tour and Battle Hub for a total of three modes where anyone can play to their liking. No one starts off as a champion. You get there step by step, punch by punch. Take up the challenge and bring your game to the next level.
