Street Fighter 5’s Next Closed Beta Detailed

Capcom also revealed a few new horror-themed costumes for Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4, and those will be available to anyone who participates in the second Street Fighter V closed beta in Japan. The playable roster will include Ken, Necalli, Vega, and R. Mika to start.

Capcom has revealed the dates for the next phase of beta testing for Street Fighter V.

The second Street Fighter 5 beta will now support 100,000 users instead of the 10,000 from the previous beta event, which is a massive increase in number.

It took two tries, but finally, the first ‘Street Fighter V’ PS4 beta introduced a whole community to the new marquee fighter. Sadly, Ryu, Chun-Lim Cammy, Birdie, Nash, and M. Bison, who were part of the first beta, will not be in this second one. If you’re curious about participating in the beta, then head here for more information.

We’re opening up beta access to PC users for the first time. With the PC debut, Capcom will be testing out the PS4 versus PC play.

That also means recently announced Zangief and recently leaked Laura will not be playable in this version of the beta.

Interested in seeing what strategies the top players on the leaderboard are employing? In an attempt to test this system, beta #2 testers will actually be able to spend newly acquired Fight Money on titles and possibly the Kanzuki Estate stage. Ranked Matches, Player Search, and combined Leaderboards will all be available.

Those on PC who haven’t already gotten access to the SF5 beta can do so by pre-ordering the game on Steam or through reputable third-party marketplaces.

Beta redemption keys will be e-mailed from the retailer you pre-ordered from. If you missed out on the first one, you’ll be able to get in a second beta later this month.

Street Fighter V is due out for PlayStation 4 and PC in spring 2016.
