Beyond these eight characters, the Street Fighter 6 Open Beta will also let players experience fights across six different stages. The character creator, ranked matches, casual matches, training mode, and a variety of other features in Street Fighter 6 will also be accessible in this beta as well. And if that wasn’t enough, cross-platform play will also be turned on which will allow players across various avenues to check out this Street Fighter 6 Open Beta with one another. All in all, Capcom is offering a deep look at what the final version of Street Fighter 6 will contain once it releases.
