Capcom has revealed that a second closed beta test for the upcoming Street Fighter 6 will be taking place this month. The game’s second round of testing will get underway on December 16 and run through December 19.
Those who took part in the first closed beta test will automatically be eligible for closed beta test two and will not need to re-apply. It’ll just be a case of keeping an eye on your email inbox to see if you’re invited to take part once more. However, applications are now open for anyone else who’d like to take part in the upcoming closed beta. Players who wish to sign up for the chance to take part will need to ensure they’ve linked their Capcom ID to their platform account. Selection will take place at random via a lottery method, so potential applicants will also need to keep an eye on their inboxes.
The second closed beta test is intended to gather a variety of player feedback on the latest iteration of Street Fighter 6. This comes after the team have made changes based on player feedback gathered from the first closed beta test. As explained by Capcom, the beta will allow developers to “monitor the play experience of participants, identify any potential issues, and then address them in order to improve the quality of the game.”
It’s clear then that Capcom is in the final stages of ironing out any potential kinks in Street Fighter 6, which is planned for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and PC at some point in 2023. However, the second closed beta test will take place only on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. Cross-play will be enabled for the duration of the second closed beta test so that players will be able to experience its functionality to the fullest and identify any potential bugs.
