On YouTube, a trailer was released to promote the open beta: One of the key differences here is that the open beta will feature multiplayer battles, and not just the single-player content found in the Street Fighter 6 demo product. The Street Fighter 6 open beta will be made available in addition to the demo version that was released a while ago, giving players an insight into the beginning of the World Tour mode found in the game., as well as Fighting Ground modes.

Typically, these trial periods will allow developers to weed out bugs, but with just two weeks between the period going live and the game releasing, it’s more probable that the Street Fighter 6 open beta is to make people much more excited than they already are. It’s not often that a beta phase will take place so close to the release of the full game, so it’s likely more of a hype-generating practice than it is a technical one.

It was recently revealed that a Street Fighter 6 open beta will take place between the 19th and the 21st of May, giving players a chance to experience crossplay, the ‘Battle Hub’, and eight top-tier characters for free, two weeks before the full game is released. There may only be a few weeks until Street Fighter 6 is finally released, but Capcom is eager to give everyone a taste as soon as possible.
