How to register

Participants in the Street Fighter 6 closed beta will be chosen randomly via a lottery system. To sign up to join the lottery, players must head to the beta’s registration website and click “Apply for the Closed Beta Test.” After that, they must indicate which platform they intend to play the beta on.

Players should note that there are a few participation requirements. To play the beta, an individual must be more than 18 years old and must have an active Capcom ID. In addition, players will need to link their Capcom ID to an account for their respective platform before playing the beta. However, they do not have to complete this step before applying.
