This surge in activity is largely due to the introduction of a new character. Capcom added the iconic character Akuma to Street Fighter 6, the younger brother of Ken and Ryu’s master. In addition, the company released a patch with numerous improvements and balance fixes.
Furthermore, from Capcom's recent list of "platinum" games, it has been revealed that by March 31, 2024, the total sales of Street Fighter 6 grew to 3.3 million copies. Let's recall that besides PC, the fighting game is available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
