Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest! The popular Capcom fighting game, boasting 4.4 million copies sold by December 31st, 2024, has added Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury series.
This addition, the third character in the game's second season, significantly boosted Street Fighter 6's popularity. Steam's peak concurrent players surged past 63,000 on Mai's release day—a considerable increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000 and the best result since May 2024.
Mai is available to Battle Pass owners. World Tour mode allows players to build relationships with Mai, learn her moves, and then put them to the test in Battle Hub. A second costume, inspired by her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been released.
A temporary addition to Battle Hub is Professor Woshige, a celebrated fighting game developer, playable until March 10th. The update also includes new Master League ranks and rewards.
Capcom showcased Mai's impressive fighting style in a dedicated character trailer.
