Street Fighter 6: Everything we know about SF6
(Pocket-lint) — Street Fighter 6 is on the way — we've waited a long time for news about what's next for one of the most famous franchises in gaming, and now we know that a new mainline entry will arrive soon.
That said, firm details are still very thin on the ground, so we've gathered all the key bits of information for you right here.

A major leak of Capcom's plans in late 2020 penned the game for a Q3 2022 release date, though, and that's at least something to go on.
Again, there's no official word on what platforms the game will come to, but we'd expect Street Fighter 6 to most likely be a cross-platform release. That would see it come out primarily for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, but also appear in a less graphically appealing form on Xbox One and PS4.
After all, fighting games are all about frame rates and precision, so it's not too much of a problem to crank the settings down low and make sure that the game is available for the widest possible audience when it launches.
