What’s up everyone!
As a lot of you may have known, we’ve recently been holding regional server stress tests and have experienced minimal issues. Due to the promising results received, we are now moving forward with our worldwide beta test.
The worldwide beta test will begin on August 28th at 4pm PST (August 29th 12:00am BST/ 8:00am JST), and will continue for five days and end on September 2nd at 7am PST (3:00pm BST/11:00pm JST). Outside of the servers being shut down for periodic maintenance, we expect everything to run continuously throughout the entire five day beta period.
Although we want you all to experience the awesomeness that is Street Fighter V during this time, please note that this is a beta and users may run into connectivity issues. This data is extremely helpful to us, as it will ensure that the final product will have the most optimal net code. In case there are issues, be sure to follow @SFVServer on Twitter for the latest updates on the status of the server.
Lastly, to help ensure that those that log into the beta have the best possible experience, we recommend the following:
Wired internet connections provide more stable speeds than Wi-Fi, so use a wired connection if you can.

*Street Fighter V will not have on-disc DLC, producer Matt Dahlgren confirmed directly to me at the Tokyo Game Show.
Downloadable content being already stored on the disc and unlocked with money caused quite a kerfuffle with Street Fighter X Tekken. I was very excited to use the word “kerfuffle,” so I asked Capcom’s Matt Dahlgren if there would be any on-disc DLC for Street Fighter V. I was answered with a very assertive, direct, "There will not be on-disc DLC, for sure ."
So there’s that.*
PC Requirements are out.

Hey PC users, we’ve received quite a few questions regarding what specs are necessary to run SFV on PC. Today, we’re happy to provide both the minimum and recommended specs.
Just so there’s no confusion, the minimum specs are what is required for SFV to even run on your PC while the recommended specs (in bold) are necessary to achieve an optimal SFV experience.
OS Version
Processor @3.50GHz
Memory
Graphics
Network
DirectX Version
Sound Card
We’ll be back in the future with the exact dates of our second beta, which will allow for PS4 and PC cross play. In the meantime, make sure your PC at least matches the specs provided so that you’ll be able to properly participate!
