Feb 21,25

Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest. The latest addition is Mai Shiranui, a popular character from the Fatal Fury franchise.

Capcom's Street Fighter 6 continues its success, having sold 4.4 million copies by December 31, 2024. While some fans felt the game lacked frequent content updates, the arrival of Mai Shiranui has proven incredibly popular.

Mai is the third character in the game's second season pass. Her release significantly boosted Street Fighter 6's player base. Steam's peak concurrent player count surged to over 63,000 on her release day, a substantial increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000 – the highest since May 2024.

Access to Mai is currently limited to Battle Pass owners. World Tour mode allows players to build relationships with Mai, learn her moves, and then put them to the test in Battle Hub. A second costume, inspired by her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been added.

A temporary addition to Battle Hub is Professor Woshige, a renowned fighting game developer. Players can experience his unique fighting style until March 10th. The update also includes new Master League ranks and associated rewards.

Capcom released a trailer showcasing Mai Shiranui's impressive fighting techniques.
