Capcom’s highly anticipated game, Street Fighter 6, is set to release on June 2, 2023. Due to the overwhelming response during the Closed Beta Test in December 2022, Capcom has decided to launch a Street Fighter 6 Open Beta programme. This allows players from all platforms to try out the latest installment of Street Fighter.

Capcom has also announced the playable characters and stages during this Open Beta.

Capcom has revealed the schedule for the Street Fighter 6 Open Beta Test, which will take place from May 19, 2023, 00:00 PDT, to May 21, 2023, 24:00 PDT.

Additionally, players are required to have an account on their chosen platform, as well as register a CAPCOM ID and link it to their platform.
How to register a CAPCOM ID and link a platform?
To get started, you have the option to register and create a Capcom ID here. Once that is done, you can refer to Capcom’s official instructions on how to link your preferred platform. It is advisable to complete the CAPCOM ID registration prior to the start of the Open Beta to avoid potential verification delays, as recommended by Capcom.
