Street Fighter 6 On Track To Become Best-selling SF Game Ever

In June 2026, Street Fighter 6 hit the 7 million copies sold milestone, a mere three years after its release. Now, several months later, it is on the cusp of overtaking Street Fighter V as the best-selling Street Fighter title ever.

The information comes from the Platinum Titles sales ranking on Capcom's website, which ranks Capcom games that have sold over a million copies. Monster Hunter: World sits at the very top, but there was space for Capcom's most famous fighting game franchise in the top 20.

Street Fighter V is still the most successful individual fighting game title for Capcom, with 8 million units sold and in 15th place among all Capcom games. However, Street Fighter 6, which came out in 2023, is gaining ground and is just shy of SFV's spot. The game currently has 7.5 million units sold and is in 16th place.

Street Fighter 6 has been an unmitigated success for Capcom with its incredible launch, accessibility options, and popularity garnered from its competitive scene. But it seems set for even more success with the anticipation of the release of Tifa Lockhart as a DLC character for the game in 2027.

Tifa Lockhart was confirmed as an upcoming character during Summer Game Fest back in June and is set to come out in the winter of 2027. Her popularity will most likely drive even more sales for SF6, and it will be no surprise when the game breaks the 8 million units sold mark.

Street Fighter II is still Capcom's most culturally relevant and successful game in its history, and while SF6's traction has been most impressive, it will take some doing to beat Street Fighter II's cumulative sales of about 15 million units.
