During its third year, the gaming community has witnessed a substantial growth in Street Fighter 6‘s player count, nearly doubling overnight. This surge propelled the game to the second highest spot among Top Sellers on Steam. Although the launch of iconic fighter Sagat might be credited by some for this boom, there seems to be another factor driving the recent influx of both new and returning players.
On August 5th, the number of players for Street Fighter 6 doubled and a massive amount of units were sold due to an update. However, Sagat, the legendary fighter, wasn’t solely responsible for this surge. Rather, it was the Outfit 4 set that attracted so many players towards Street Fighter 6. The main reason behind this? Outfit 4 is the eagerly awaited swimsuit pack.
Capcom previewed several outfits prior to their release, but it wasn’t until just before August 5th that they unveiled and made available a set of swimsuit costumes for Cammy, Chun-Li, AKI, Kimberly, Luke, Jaimie, and Manon. At EVO 2025, Capcom cleverly chose to showcase these new outfits, building anticipation by previously hinting at C.Viper’s costume. The crowd erupted in excitement during the unveiling of these costumes.
The r/StreetFighter community is brimming with memes and pictures featuring the latest swimsuit costumes for characters like Chun-Li and Cammy. These new outfits have gained massive popularity, with some fans suggesting they could single-handedly finance Season 3 due to their overwhelming appeal. The enthusiasm from players towards these new costumes is evident as they are flocking in large numbers to show their admiration.
The surge in sales can be partially credited to swimsuits, which resulted in “Street Fighter 6” climbing an impressive 78 spots on Steam’s Top Selling list. To clarify, the reveal at EVO and the release of Sagat, along with hinting at the next character, also significantly contributed to these sales. (Jokes aside, I assure you there were no actual jokes in the original text.)
In Street Fighter 6, a segment of the gaming community expresses discontent regarding the selected swimsuits. One player articulates this sentiment by stating, “It’s possible to be attractive without resorting to swimsuits in a fighting game.” Other players criticize Capcom for catering to “gooners,” suggesting they would have preferred different attire entirely. Some fans are also dissatisfied because their favorite characters weren’t given swimsuit options.
