Mai Arrives in Street Fighter 6, Sparking Global Excitement

Street Fighter 6 welcomes a new fighter, reigniting player interest. The latest addition is Mai Shiranui, a popular character from the Fatal Fury franchise.

Capcom's Street Fighter 6 continues its success, boasting 4.4 million copies sold by December 31, 2024. While some fans felt the game lacked frequent content updates, the introduction of Mai Shiranui has proven a significant boost.

Mai Shiranui, the third character in the game's second season, has dramatically impacted Street Fighter 6's popularity. On her release day, Steam's peak concurrent player count soared past 63,000—a remarkable increase from the previous peak of 24-27,000 and the highest since May 2024.

Access to Mai is granted through the Battle Pass. World Tour mode allows players to cultivate a relationship with Mai, learn her moves, and subsequently test them in Battle Hub. A second costume, inspired by her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, has also been added.

Further enhancing the Battle Hub experience is the temporary addition of Professor Woshige, a renowned fighting game developer. Players can engage with this guest character until March 10. New Master League ranks and rewards have also been implemented.

Capcom showcased Mai's fighting prowess in a dedicated character trailer.
