Does Street Fighter 6 Have Crossplay?
Capcom announced the upcoming Street Fighter 6 on the franchise’s 35th anniversary during Sony's State of Play in early June last year. Since then the developer has released more details about the game and conducted multiple Closed Beta tests since then. Fans are eager to get their hands on the game but the question remains, will the brand new Street Fighter 6 have crossplay. Here is all you need to know.
Street Fighter 6 crossplay platforms
Cross-platform play, often called crossplay is a standard feature of multiplayer games these days and Capcom has decided to add it to their titles as well. While Street Fighter 4 did not offer crossplay, Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 6 have crossplay available across game modes. Capcom confirmed that their newest Street Fighter would have cross-platform play in their closed beta announcement.
Crossplay will be available across online modes for Street Fighter 6 including for the Battle Hub, Fighting Grounds and more. The second closed beta for Street Fighter 6 was conducted in December last year and crossplay was available for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Unfortunately, while the closed beta was not available for the PS4, when the game releases it will be available for the console. It is still unknown if crossplay is enabled by default or if players can tweak those settings. Also, Capcom is yet to comment on how it plans to balance the competitive modes like ranked with crossplay enabled.
