2023 Version Update Patches

This is a sub-page of Street Fighter 6/Revisional Differences.

The first yearly set of patch updates for Street Fighter 6 arrived several days after the game's release, when the game was initially having some bug issues in preparation for the first two Year 1 DLC characters and content to release.

  • Maintenance work was carried out to fix various bug issues with the game.

  • The "Early Summer Vibes" Fighting Pass starts.

Version 1.0001.010#

Released on July 4, 2023, with the following changes:

  • The "Rashid Arrives!" Fighting Pass has started.
  • A club recruitment campaign is now underway.
  • The number of Battle Hub servers have been adjusted in order to lessen network strain.
  • A temporary fix has been implemented to address a known Throw Escape bug. The current fix makes it much more difficult to intentionally replicate the bug, and a solution to address the root as it is still being worked on.

Version 1.0001.011#

Released on July 11, 2023 with the following changes:

  • Implementing a fix for an issue preventing the receipt of "Rashid Arrives!" Fighting Pass rewards in some circumstances.
  • Postponing the commencement of Lucky Battle Station activities until after this update was completed.

Version 1.0001.012#

Released on July 24, 2023 with the following changes:

  • New items were added to the Goods Shop.
    • DLC character Rashid, with his Outfit 2 and Colors 3-10 and character story added to Arcade Mode in Fighting Ground, and his Master Missions added to World Tour. To play as him, you must have either the Year 1 Character Pass or the Year 1 Ultimate Pass or have purchased the character from the Goods Shop. You can also use a Rental Fighter ticket to play the character for one hour.
    • Avatar gear: Pirate Captain Bundle, Resort-Style Bundle, Breezy Resort-Style Bundle, which are also available as individual items.
  • Added an Easier way to switch between Record and Playback in the Training Mode pause menu.
  • Master League added (which coincides with the beginning of Phase 1 on August 1st).
  • World Tour Missions featuring Mike Haggar Memorial Stadium Tournament and Suval'hal Arena (you must complete the main game to access these missions).
  • New cutscenes were added to the Gallery under Cutscenes > World Tour.
  • Battle balance changes were made to the base roster of characters.
  • New music was added to the Music Player, including "The Turbulent Wind - Rashid's Theme" and more.

  • Other miscellaneous bugs were fixed.

Version 1.0001.013#

Released on July 25, 2023 with the following changes:

  • Fixed an issue which occurs when, after sending Rashid's Ysaar forward with Arabian Cyclone's kick, by pushing the opponent outside of Ysaar's attack range while they are blocking it would cause the whirlwind to stay on screen instead of dissipating, resulting in an extremely prolonged block state.
  • There was also an issue that allows JP to move freely during Embrace's locked grab animation under specific conditions. As a provisional course of action, the team were taking care of the issue by making it so that you cannot hit a follow-up attack after Embrace hits. Please note that since this attack does not normally allow for follow-ups, this provisional fix will not have any effect on a normal battle.
  • Fixed an issue that wouldn't allow players to rent fighters using the Rental Fighter item. Additionally, players who fulfilled the conditions in World Tour mode to obtain Rashid's Outfit 2 but couldn't obtain it should now be able to obtain it from the in-game news screen.
