Keeping that in mind, owners of the Xbox are now hoping for Street Fighter 6 to launch for the Xbox also. Simply put, they don’t want it to remain a PlayStation exclusive only.

Street Fighter, though it’s not extremely popular as compared to Capcom’s other IPs like Resident Evil and DMC, has its own fanbase. And those who adore its characters like Chun-Li and Ryu have waited for it to be available on the Xbox, for a long time now.

It was very evident to witness in the reactions to the latest reveal as well. As the publisher announced Street Fighter 6, while also dropping a teaser, the fans also expressed their personal wish and demands.

The majority of them replied by mentioning how much they are curious to have the next entry on the Xbox.

“Xbox? Or are you depriving us again,” wrote one user who doesn’t want to stick to PlayStation.
