Street Fighter 6 is finally here. We can start breaking into how all of the Street Fighter 6 characters play, start to master combos, and jump into online, but there’s a new feature in the game which is basically a must for modern games, even if Capcom basically buried it before release. A Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass.
Love them or hate them, most live service games have a Battle Pass these days. With years of further Street Fighter DLC coming, we can expect this to be an ongoing part of the game. Capcom wasn’t super clear about this ahead of release, but a Battle Pass is going to be a part the game. It seems like it may be patched into the game post-release, similar to Resident Evil’s premium currency this year. What do we know about the Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass so far?
Is There Going To be a Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass?
According to a specific Street Fighter review, the SF is going to feature a Battle Pass! Despite the radio silence from Capcom on the topic, it will be coming to the game after launch.
A Battle Pass will allow the title to be monetized beyond launch. On one hand, this means players having to spend cash on games they’ve already bought, which is never fun. On the other, though, it provides more incentive for a game to be kept active with its updates. Titles with Battle Passes that don’t update often enough to justify it typically see their sales fall outside of their core diehard fans. It’s a frustrating addition when kept secret before launch, but it seems like it’s coming either way.

The Battle Pass should allow the game to get new cosmetics throughout its life, and more importantly, give a home for the new fighters. The Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass could be the way we see more characters added to the game. Although, it’s entirely possible they keep selling these separately too.
Is the Battle Pass in the Season Pass?
Since the Street Fighter 6 reveal that included the first batch of DLC characters, we’ve known about a potential Season Pass coming for these fighters. It’s possible that these will both be passes to get the new characters. Or one could be bundled with the other. We’ll really have to wait for official word from Capcom on that.
Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass Tiers and Rewards
Capcom has been showing off loads of new skins and other items for characters in SF 6. Since they’ve not officially announced a Battle Pass, we don’t know the exact tiers yet. It’ll likely include new skins for Cammy, Ryu, and all the other characters.
We can expect the Battle Pass to come with items for your avatar in World tour, premium currency, drive tickets, and unique skins for fighters. Although, some of the coolest like retro skins are included in the base game.

Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass End Date
The Street Fighter 6 Battle Pass hasn’t been officially unveiled yet, so we don’t have an official end date. We’ll be sure to keep this updated once we find out more though!
The Battle Pass might be coming as a surprise, but it isn’t the only one of the best fighting games to have one. Let’s just hope there’s enough content around to justify the extra cost.
