The first title in the Street Fighter series was released as an arcade game in 1987, followed by the global smash hit Street Fighter II in 1991, which generated mass excitement due to its innovative battle system.

Along with the Street Fighter League: Pro-JP 2023 esports tournament, the company is utilizing Street Fighter 6 in the Capcom Pro Tour 2023, which will provide a Capcom-record high $1 million USD (approx. 130 million yen*) in prize money to the champion, with the total prize pool for the tour exceeding $2 million USD (approx. 260 million yen*). On top of these activities, Capcom has worked to capture greater interest and attention for the title with continued content updates, including broad collaborations, additional characters, and costumes (such as "Outfit 3" additional character costumes), which has helped grow sales of Street Fighter 6 over 3 million units globally.
