Sagat Returns to Street Fighter 6: Capcom Confirms Season 3 DLC Release

Capcom's flagship fighting series, Street Fighter 6, continues to expand its legendary roster with the long-awaited return of Sagat.

Fans of the series can once again step into the ring as the iconic Muay Thai master starting this week, as part of the eagerly awaited Season 3 DLC rollout.

Available across leading platforms including the Nintendo Switch, this update highlights Capcom's commitment to evolving the Street Fighter experience through well-received downloadable content and ongoing support. Sagat’s arrival in Street Fighter 6 marks a significant milestone for the franchise, with the character making his debut in the original Street Fighter and cementing his legacy across decades of competitive play.

As of August 5, 2025, Sagat officially joins the Street Fighter 6 roster, with Capcom delivering fresh content that enhances both single-player and multiplayer gameplay.

The company's statement last week confirmed his launch and detailed that Sagat is the second fighter to be introduced in the game's Season 3 DLC cycle. Commenting on the new additions, Capcom representatives emphasized their ongoing dedication to supporting the Street Fighter community.

They noted that bringing back beloved characters like Sagat not only honors the series’ history but also ensures players remain engaged as the competitive landscape evolves. Alongside Sagat’s return, Capcom will release a new update for Capcom Fighting Collection 2 later this week, bringing additional improvements and balancing updates to the celebrated anthology.

This double update strategy follows Capcom’s proven track record in keeping their fighting game catalog fresh and relevant, both for casual players on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and competitive esports athletes worldwide. Since its release, Street Fighter 6 has achieved impressive sales milestones and retained a robust player base, thanks in part to regular updates, engaging DLC characters, and a lively esports scene.

The game remains accessible via eShop and continues to headline major Nintendo Direct presentations with new announcements.

For fans eager to experience Sagat’s legendary Tiger Shot in Street Fighter 6 or to explore enhancements in Capcom Fighting Collection 2, the upcoming update offers plenty of reasons to revisit these iconic fighting games.

Keep an eye on official Capcom channels and the Nintendo eShop for the latest content drops and patch notes.
