Street Fighter 6 Launches on Nintendo Switch 2 with Flexible Editions and DLC Options

Capcom’s highly anticipated fighting title, Street Fighter 6, is gearing up for a significant debut as a launch title on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Known for its genre-defining mechanics and robust roster, the Street Fighter series continues to expand its reach across hardware platforms.

The Nintendo Switch 2 release not only underscores the enduring popularity of the franchise, but also reflects Capcom’s commitment to delivering flexible purchasing options for both newcomers and longtime fans. Set to arrive alongside the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch, Street Fighter 6 will be available in multiple editions designed to accommodate different player preferences.

According to official details highlighted by Nintendo, players can opt for the comprehensive 'Years 1-2 Fighters Edition,' which includes all 26 fighters released across the game’s initial two years.

This version promises the full breadth of Street Fighter 6’s roster and content updates, making it the ideal choice for those who want the complete experience from day one. Alternatively, Nintendo has confirmed that a digital standard edition of Street Fighter 6 will also be available for the Switch 2.

This base version offers the main game but does not include the additional fighters or DLC content bundled in the 'Years 1-2' edition.

While specific pricing for the standard edition has not yet been announced, it is expected to be a more budget-friendly entry point for players primarily interested in the core gameplay. A statement from Nintendo on social media underscored the title’s prominence for the new hardware: "#StreetFighter6 punches its way onto #NintendoSwitch2 as a launch title – with exclusive new modes! You can choose from the Years 1-2 Fighters Edition featuring 26 fighters or the standard edition." This flexibility marks a consumer-friendly approach, providing choice for fans who may not wish to invest in all additional content at launch. Additional details available on Nintendo’s official website reinforce these options, making clear that both the expansive Fighters Edition and the accessible digital version will appear on the Nintendo eShop for Switch 2 owners to purchase.

Capcom’s ongoing partnership with Nintendo has reached new milestones with the Street Fighter franchise, ensuring cross-platform support and continued esports relevance. Street Fighter 6 originally launched on other major platforms, earning critical acclaim for its refined mechanics and diverse character lineup.

Its arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title ensures that the next generation of Nintendo hardware launches with one of the most respected and influential fighting games in the industry.

Both casual players and competitive veterans will be able to tailor their Street Fighter 6 experience, making this release a cornerstone for Switch 2’s early game library. In summary, Capcom and Nintendo are set to please both comprehensive collectors and budget-conscious gamers through the dual-edition strategy for Street Fighter 6’s Switch 2 release.

Further pricing and additional content details are expected closer to launch, with fans encouraged to follow official Nintendo Directs and the eShop for updates.
