In the lead up to Street Fighter 6, both Capcom and fans alike seemed confident in the fact that this latest fighting title would be a big deal, with the publisher hoping to sell 10 million copies when all is said and done. Capcom is already well on its way to achieving this goal, with SF6 having reached 3 million copies sold in just over 6 months.
Making the announcement via a press release, the team at Capcom said, “Street Fighter 6, the latest title in the storied Street Fighter series, has sold over 3 million units worldwide (as of January 3, 2024).”
This represents a great milestone for the game, which for context managed to sell 1 million copies in just 3 days.
This was then pushed to 2 million copies within the first month; so while the rate at which the game has sold might’ve slowed down significantly since June, it still represents a strong and consistent grand return for the Street Fighter series – especially in the wake of SF5’s less-than-stellar launch.
Considering that game ended up selling 7.4 million copies, Street Fighter 6 should easily beat it in just a few short years. We will have to wait and see.
