Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest! The popular Capcom fighting game, boasting 4.4 million copies sold by December 31st, 2024, has added Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury series.
This addition, the third character of Season 2, has significantly boosted Street Fighter 6's popularity. Steam's peak online player count surged past 63,000 on Mai's release day, a substantial increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000 – the highest since May 2024.
Mai is currently available to Battle Pass owners. World Tour mode allows players to cultivate a relationship with Mai, learn her moves, and then test them in Battle Hub. A second costume, inspired by her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been released.
The Battle Hub also features a temporary guest character: Professor Woshige, a renowned fighting game developer, playable until March 10th. New Master League ranks and rewards have also been introduced.
Capcom showcased Mai's fighting style in a recently released trailer.
