The event was shown on ‘CapcomFighter’s Twitch, spanning over 1 hour and 30 minutes. Not to fret, if you had missed the show, then head over to the aforementioned’s Twitch and you can watch the replay of the entire stream.
The showcase comprised of much more features the game has to offer such as much more gameplay footage, the mechanics, the characters (including new ones such as: Rashid, Ed, and Akuma), game modes and other content.

This may pose as a surprise for some of you, but there was a first closed beta that arrived between October 7, 2022 – October 11, 2022. Then the second closed beta was from December 16, 2022 – December 19, 2022. But don’t be too disheartened, because the only way you could’ve possibly played was via lottery. Not saying for definite that you wouldn’t have played, but there was a strong likelihood you wouldn’t have.
Now, it’s a completely different ball game. Street Fighter 6’s demo is now open and available for everyone to play – but there is just one thing; only PlayStation 4 and 5 owners can play the demo right now. Meanwhile, Xbox Series X and PC players will have to wait until April 26 to enjoy.
For PlayStation users, in order to be able to play the demo, you need to download it, right? And here’s how, it’s real simple:
- Head over to the PlayStation store.
- Type ‘Street Fighter 6’ in the search bar.
- Click on the game.
- You should see a file that says ‘Street Fighter 6 demo’.
- Download and enjoy.
According to Street Fighter’s Twitter, the demo only allows you to do the following:
- Train with iconic character, Ryu and and Luke – who was previously a character DLC, and is now the game’s cover fighter.
