Fans Will Have 2 Versions Of Street Fighter 6 To Choose From On Switch 2 Launch Day

by

According to the Nintendo Switch eShop listing, Street Fighter 6 on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will offer two distinct editions at launch. In the game’s main menu, players can opt between Street Fighter 6: Year 1-2 Fighter Edition or a digital version of Street Fighter 6 tailored for the Nintendo Switch 2.

It’s important to note that a subtle difference exists between the physical and digital versions of Street Fighter 6 on Nintendo Switch. The boxed version comes with the Year 1–2 Fighters Edition, while the digital one is merely the base game. If players want more characters, they can acquire them through the DLC available on the eShop or buy the Year 1-2 Fighters Edition separately, which grants access to fighters like Mai and Elena (who’s yet to be released).

So, players purchasing the physical edition are essentially paying for the base game plus DLC.

The positive aspect here is that the digital version may cost less because it won’t have the Year 1-2 Fighters Pass. If past pricing trends on platforms like the PlayStation 5 are any guide, the base digital price could be around $40 to $50. Meanwhile, the physical edition might retail for $70, a typical price point for most current releases.

With this action from Capcom, they’ve managed to strike a balance that appeals to both long-time collectors and fresh fans. Collectors will appreciate the high-quality physical edition filled with bonuses, while novice players can opt for a digital version at a more affordable price, gradually unlocking the full roster over time.

On June 5th, the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is set, boasting Street Fighter 6 among its initial lineup of games. Preliminary reviews suggest that its performance might outshine the PlayStation 5’s version.
