Capcom responds to Street Fighter 6 DLC pass backlash

pcgamesn.com:

A single glance at the Street Fighter 6 Year 1 Ultimate pass on Steam is pretty harrowing. Currently rated ‘Mostly Negative,’ the fighting game‘s inaugural DLC has fallen flat with the playerbase as it apparently just isn’t worth the cash. Capcom has responded to the issues though, clarifying exactly what the Street Fighter 6 Year 1 passes include.

The Steam listing claims that players will be able to access four DLC characters, numerous different outfits, two new stages, and 7,700 Drive Tickets. Everything except from the Drive Tickets will release on a schedule, with the Street Fighter 6 roster set to expand throughout the year.

While this is highlighted in the listing, this hasn’t stopped players review bombing the pack, angry that they’ve spent $49.99 / £49.99 on items that aren’t currently available.

In response, Capcom has issued a statement explaining exactly what you get in the pass. “Regarding the Year 1 Character Pass and Year 1 Ultimate Pass: the only content available at this time are the Drive Tickets,” reads a June 4 tweet.

“Additional content from the pass (characters, costumes, colors, stages) will be released sequentially at a later date.”

While some criticize bad reviews for misreading the pass’ description, another common theme throughout the reviews is that the 7,700 Drive Tickets aren’t enough. Drive Tickets are used to buy gear, outfit colors, and stickers for your in-game persona, but 7,700 won’t net you much.

“Just round it up to 8,000 so I can get eight alternate colors instead of seven,” one player writes, with another commenting “7,700 Drive Tickets sounds like a lot on paper, but in reality, it is about enough to buy extra palettes for a single character (out of 18) and maybe some clown shoes
