World Tour Mode

An exciting addition to Street Fighter 6 is the highly anticipated World Tour mode, which stands out as one of its most promising features.

Instead, they will embark on a thrilling journey around the globe, experiencing a captivating narrative.

As an added personal touch, players will be able to create their own unique avatars, enabling them to truly immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of the Street Fighter universe.

World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 opens up a whole additional dimension of gameplay, allowing fighters to explore, engage, and unfold an engaging storyline in their solo quest for victory.

Fighting Ground

While Street Fighter 6 introduces exciting new gameplay experiences, it also stays true to its roots by offering the beloved player-versus-player (PvP) format. Embracing the essence of classic Street Fighter battles, PvP engagements now find their home within the expansive realm of Street Fighter 6’s Fighting Ground. As one of the most anticipated multiplayer games of 2023, players can expect exhilarating showdowns as they put their skills to the test in this electrifying arena.

Within the Fighting Ground, fighters will have a wealth of options at their disposal. They can choose between engaging in intense One-on-One or Team Battles. Players can dive into Ranked or Casual games based on whether they are seeking a competitive challenge or a more casual experience. For those craving additional excitement, Street Fighter 6 offers various miscellaneous modes, including the adrenaline-pumping Extreme mode and the classic Arcade mode.

Street Fighter 6 also embraces the power of cross play, enabling seamless battles between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.

Battle Hub

For those seeking a more social experience within the Street Fighter community, the Battle Hub mode in Street Fighter 6 offers an enticing opportunity. Players can gather in a bustling hub, where they can interact with fellow fighters and engage in a variety of activities. 

For instance, in the Battle Hub mode, players can transfer their personalized avatar from the World Tour mode and ensure a seamless transition between the different gameplay aspects. Within this shared space, up to 100 players can come together, forming a vibrant community.

Once inside the Battle Hub, fighters can take part in thrilling PvP matches on arcade machines, showcasing their skills in head-to-head battles. Players can also choose to spectate ongoing matches, observing and learning from the talents of their fellow combatants.
