"Backlash to the announcement hit social media platforms almost immediately, both from fans and those working on the game. Street Fighter 6 director Takayuki Nakayama posted on X that "even the development team was surprised by this announcement," while also apologizing for "any concern this may have caused." Street Fighter 6 is available now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It is currently in its third season of downloadable content,"
"The Tokyo Game Show announcement laid out Capcom's plans for the new PPV model, setting the price for both the Capcom Cup finals livestream on March 14, as well as the Street Fighter League finals the next day, at 4,000 yen each--or roughly $27 a pop. The two streams could also be bundled together at a reduced price of 6,000 yen, or approximately $40."
Capcom announced a shift to a pay-per-view model for Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League finals, initially pricing each live stream at 4,000 yen and offering a 6,000 yen bundle. Previous finals streamed free on Capcom Fighters Twitch and YouTube, with special cosmetic items sold in-game. The announcement prompted immediate backlash across social media from fans and some game staff. Capcom said it is reviewing pricing and related details and will share updated information, including final PPV pricing and context, next month. A ticket lottery for attending Capcom Cup 12 and Street Fighter League World Championship 2025 in Tokyo opens October 10.
