Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest. The popular Capcom fighting game, boasting 4.4 million copies sold by December 31st, 2024, has added Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury franchise.
This addition, the third character in the game's second season, has significantly boosted Street Fighter 6's popularity. Steam's peak concurrent players surged to over 63,000 on the day of Mai's release, a substantial increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000—the highest since May 2024.
Access to Mai is granted via the Battle Pass. World Tour mode allows players to cultivate a relationship with Mai, learn her moves, and subsequently test them in Battle Hub. A second costume, drawing inspiration from her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been introduced.
Further enhancing the Battle Hub experience is the temporary addition of Professor Woshige, a renowned fighting game developer, available until March 10th. New Master League ranks and rewards have also been implemented.
Capcom showcased Mai's fighting prowess in a dedicated trailer.
