Street Fighter 6 is the latest entry in the long running series, and eager fans may be curious about the exact release time they can play. After SFV’s rocky launch, Capcom has seemingly addressed these issues by packing SF6 with loads of content at launch. From the game’s World Tour mode to the 18 characters available, fighting game fans are in for a grand time when the game drops on June 2, 2023.
However, when exactly will you be able to play the new title? Here’s everything you need to know about the release time for Street Fighter 6.
When Can You Preload SF6?
Street Fighter 6 is available to preload now across all platforms. This ability was just flipped on the night of Tuesday, May 30, just three days before launch. If you’re looking to preload, you can head to the store of your respective platform and go to the game’s page. Once there, you will now have the option to preload the title.
The title will begin downloading and stay locked until the game has launched, which will require you to connect to the internet and check for the release time.
When Is the Street Fighter 6 Release Time?
SF6 will unlock at 12 AM EDT on Friday, June 2. For the United States, you will be able to enter the arena at the following times:
- June 2 @ 12 AM ET
- June 1 @ 11 PM CT
- June 1 @ 9 PM PT
Street Fighter 6 does not have an early access period or anything of the sort, a contrast of the offering of Diablo 4 early access for players who purchase certain editions. All modes will be playable at the times above, as this is when the game officially launches!
