Street Fighter 6 is not catching a break since its anticipated release last week. After swaying the critics and fans with its outstanding gameplay experience, Capcom’s latest offering in the fighting series has made a roaring debut on Steam. Alongside other platforms, the game was also launched for PC on this digital store front. As expected, the game has topped the list of global best-sellers on the store, while even outselling a very popular Call of Duty entry.
This game is none other than Modern Warfare II which was released by Activision last year. Since the last few months, the first-person shooter blockbuster has managed to be among the top three Steam titles in sales. However, the arrival of Street Fighter 6 has pushed it slightly away now.
