Street Fighter 6’s Anniversary Fighting Pass: Celebrate a Year of KO’s with New Content!

Time goes by so quickly, doesn’t it? It’s surprising that over a year has passed since Street Fighter 6 came out on June 2, 2023.

To celebrate, Capcom temporarily took down the Street Fighter 6 servers for maintenance to prepare for the first-anniversary update. On Buckler’s Boot Camp, there is an update notice that lists everything new in Street Fighter 6 with this update.

Street Fighter 6’s Anniversary Fighting Pass

Street Fighter 6 is celebrating its first anniversary since the game was launched. You can watch the newest Street Fighter 6 trailer to see what’s included in the 1st Anniversary-themed Fighting Pass.

The game’s director, Nakayama Takayuki, mentioned that the team plans to release multiple balance updates this season instead of one big update per year. However, we think this latest update is not part of that plan.

For gameplay changes, there is only a bug fix for Blanka. This fix makes Blanka weaker because he loses the unintended invincibility on his legs during a Drive Rush.

Because of this change, replays from previous versions of Street Fighter 6 will no longer work. The replays are still saved but can’t be played back.

Besides this, the update also adds new features. There is now a tenth color for the 18 original characters and a “Colors 3-10 Bundle” option.
