As the Nintendo Switch 2 continues its global rollout, Capcom has marked a milestone moment for fighting game fans by announcing a substantial price drop for Street Fighter 6 on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop.
Starting today, players can purchase the standard edition of Street Fighter 6 for just $19.99, a notable 50% off its regular $39.99 retail price.
It is important to note that this discount currently applies exclusively to the standard version; the Years 1–2 Fighters Edition, which includes downloadable content, is not included in this sale.
This early and sizable eShop discount is significant, especially given that sales for Nintendo Switch 2 titles have been rare so far, as the system is only beginning its lifecycle.
Capcom’s decision to offer such a major promotion signals a commitment to attracting both longstanding fans and newcomers to the iconic fighting franchise on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
Street Fighter 6 builds upon the legendary legacy of its predecessors while introducing fresh innovation and fan-focused enhancements.
Developed by Capcom, the game boasts three core modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.
These diverse offerings ensure players experience not just intense one-on-one battles, but also narrative-driven solo play and global community competition.
Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 version are local wireless multiplayer matches—including One on One showdowns and Avatar Matches—as well as new party modes that harness the full potential of the Joy-Con controllers.
Features like Gyro Battle and Calorie Contest encourage interactive, movement-based play, further leveraging the hardware’s versatility.
Players can also enjoy the flexibility of Tabletop Mode and access all three control schemes—Classic, Modern, and Dynamic—using the Joy-Con, adapting to their preferred fighting style.
The roster features 18 fighters, including storied veterans such as Ryu and Chun-Li alongside newcomers like Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly.
Each character is visually redesigned and comes with cinematic special moves.
The advanced combat engine introduces the Drive Gauge, adding a strategic layer to every match, while the innovative Real Time Commentary Feature brings an energized, esports-inspired atmosphere with accessible in-game analysis.
World Tour mode invites players into an immersive single-player journey across Metro City and beyond, offering opportunities to create avatars, meet legendary Masters, and develop personalized fighting techniques.
Meanwhile, the Battle Hub serves as a social and competitive space, where players can challenge global rivals and enjoy classic Capcom arcade titles.
Street Fighter 6 is available now worldwide on Nintendo Switch 2 via the eShop.
With this new limited-time discount, it stands as one of the first major sales to hit the Switch 2 marketplace.
