[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59345, member: 1"] Street Fighter 6 hasn't even been out for a full day, and it's already off to a flaming hot start. Capcom's latest entry in the Street Fighter franchise has already become Steam's most-played fighting game of all time by concurrent player count. At 9 a.m. PT this morning, [URL='https://steamdb.info/app/1364780/charts/']SteamDB[/URL]'s numbers show that 66,317 people were playing Street Fighter 6 on Steam alone. According to industry analyst Benji-Sales on [URL='https://twitter.com/BenjiSales/status/1664502543320334336']Twitter[/URL], this figure has broken Steam's all-time concurrent players record for a fighting game by nearly double. For context, concurrent player count means the number of people playing a game at the same time. Here are some of the other numbers: [LIST] [*]Street Fighter 6: 66,317 [*]Mortal Kombat 11 - 35,147 [*]Tekken 7 - 18,966 [*]Mortal Kombat X - 15,743 [*]Street Fighter V- 14,783 [/LIST] It's a huge start for Street Fighter 6, which has also been performing very well critically.

It seems Capcom has done all the right things leading up to the launch of Street Fighter 6, as this success story is different from 2016's Street Fighter V, which [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/05/09/street-fighter-5-misses-sales-target']missed its initial sales targets[/URL].
