Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest. The popular Capcom fighting game, boasting 4.4 million copies sold by December 31st, 2024, has added Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury franchise.
This addition, the third character in the game's second season, significantly boosted Street Fighter 6's popularity. Steam's peak concurrent players surged past 63,000 on Mai's release day, a considerable increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000 and the best result since May 2024.
Access to Mai is granted via the Battle Pass. World Tour mode allows players to cultivate a relationship with Mai, learn her moves, and subsequently test them in Battle Hub. A second costume, drawing inspiration from her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been introduced.
Further enhancing the Battle Hub experience is the temporary addition of Professor Woshige, a renowned fighting game developer, available until March 10th. New Master League ranks and rewards complete the update.
Capcom showcased Mai's fighting prowess in a dedicated trailer.
