1 day agoCapcom Apologizes For Street Fighter Tournament Ticket Prices
Capcom reduced the Capcom Cup livestream pay-per-view price to $10 and unified pricing across Japanese and English broadcasts.
The Capcom Cup started in 2013 with Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition as the Japanese publisher sought to professionalize and take more direct ownership of its hit fighting franchise's competitive scene. It expanded into multi-month tours leading up to the big finals, with all of the biggest matches streamed for free online. And it's continued that way, until now. Capcom announced this week that the 2026 finals for Street Fighter 6 will be a pay-per-view event, and fans are not happy.
