Street Fighter 6 Has Now Sold Over 5 Million Copies in Just 2 Years
Capcom has announced Street Fighter 6 has now sold over 5 million copies. The milestone has been reached within two years of the fighting game’s release across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
Street Fighter 6 launched in June 2023 and has since been praised for its accessibility for new players, diverse game modes like World Tour, and smooth ranked experience. Its success continues to grow as Capcom has now revealed it has sold over 5 million copies.
The new milestone makes SF6 the third-best-selling game in the franchise, behind Street Fighter 2, which has sold 6.3 million copies, and Street Fighter 5, with 7.8 million copies sold.
A Strong Start for Street Fighter 6
The success of Street Fighter 6 lies in its launch success, with the game being an instant hit with fans worldwide for its wide platform availability across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, new modes such as World Tour and Battle Hub, and its Drive System, a combat mechanic for special attacks that both new and veteran players have learned to love.
Capcom’s shift towards player accessibility and strong online infrastructure has helped retain its core players while appealing to a new audience.

How It Compares to Past Street Fighter Titles
To put Street Fighter 6 sales into perspective, the game has sold 5 million copies in two years. In comparison, Street Fighter 5 has sold 7.8 million copies in nine years, having launched in 2016.
If SF6 continues to sell at this pace, it will likely surpass its predecessors, becoming the best-selling game in the franchise’s history. A goal it could reach soon after its launch for the Nintendo Switch 2.
What’s Next for Street Fighter 6?
Capcom is continuing to push Street Fighter 6 content, with Season 3 recently announced during Summer Game Fest. Over the next year, players can look forward to Sagat, C. Viper, Alex, and Ingrid, who will all join the roster by Spring 2026.
The game has also recently launched for the Nintendo Switch 2. With the new characters coming, Capcom is far from done expanding the SF6 universe.

Capcom has announced Street Fighter 6 has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, making it the third-best-selling game in the series. What do you think makes the fighting game so popular? Share your thoughts in the comments.
