Street Fighter 6 Demo Gets Full 8-Character Beta Content
Since the demo was made available, a few things became apparent. The first was that Ryu players were having fun. The next was that everyone else was using a cracked version to carry on grinding their Main before the actual release date. Capcom tried to clamp down on SF 6 cracked players.
That seemed to be it for a while. Capcom was banning players from using other characters, but the demo was nowhere near the size of previous Beta access for the title. It was a bit frustrating. Capcom has fixed that problem recently, massively increasing the size of the Street Fighter 6 demo.

How to Play the Street Fighter 6 Demo
The new demo from Street Fighter 6 was released as part of the SF 6 Showcase, along with a load of new details about how the game was going to work on launch! The new demo is the widest yet. You don’t need to apply for access. The entire demo is free to play and open to everyone. Initially, only on one platform, it’s now on quite a few. You can find it on your relevant store for your platform.
What’s in the Demo?
The new demo is a chance to try things out, but it’s pretty limited in what you have access to. There’s a decent chunk of the new World Tour mode available. You can play through the opening section here and test out how it’s going to work. This includes exploring areas of the city and meeting some well-known Street Fighter 6 characters.
Alongside World Tour, there are a few more game modes you can try out. There’s the full character creator. There are a few more game modes, and online play has even made a return with the recent update to the Street Fighter 6 demo!
You can find One on One Battles, and a couple of Extreme Battle Modes, as well as the tutorials that are available to get to grips with each of the characters.
For playable characters, there are the full 8 that we got in the earlier beta! There’s Ken and Ryu. However, there are also others like Guile in SF 6, Juri, and Kimberly. This includes some of the most iconic fighters, so it’s a nice start. There’s also Genbu Temple and Training Room available for Stages.
The demo is a more limited form of the game. If you want to get a feel for how combat feels in the new game though, this is a great starting point. There’s even time to seriously lab out the included characters before Street Fighter 6 esports kicks off with the game’s full launch.
