Capcom announced on the 9th that Street Fighter 6 has achieved this global milestone. It is a rather tidy way for the publisher to prove that their core IP remains in rude health.

Coming seven years after its predecessor, Street Fighter 6 managed to reel in a fresh crowd of players by introducing accessible control schemes and features for those who aren't quite fighting game veterans. They’re keeping the momentum going by teasing four new characters for the game’s fourth year. Most notably, the arrival of Tifa, the iconic heroine from Final Fantasy, has certainly got the community buzzing.

The Street Fighter series has been a heavyweight in the genre for over 30 years since its 1987 debut. As of 31 March 2026, the series has accumulated over 59 million units sold, all while maintaining a stellar presence in the esports scene.

Capcom noted, "We will continue to push our 'Single Source Multi-Use' strategy to drive sustainable growth and boost corporate value, expanding our IP across games, esports, film, and other media."
