Street Fighter V Will Not Have On-Disc Downloadable Content

One of the issues that people had with some of Capcom’s recent fighting game releases in the past console generation was the presence of downloadable content on disc. While 2012’s Street Fighter x Tekken was the most infamous example, other games like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 used this practice as well.

Apparently, Street Fighter V won’t be following in their footsteps. When asked about the topic by Game Revolution at Tokyo Game Show, Capcom senior manager Matt Dahlgren’s reply was short and sweet: “There will not be on-disc DLC, for sure.”

This confirmation goes hand-in-hand with Capcom’s stated plans for Street Fighter V’s post-launch content. Not only are the developers planning to continuously expand the upcoming title’s cast beyond the initial 16 characters available at launch, they will also make them (and all gameplay related post-launch content) earnable via in-game currency.

Street Fighter V will launch on PlayStation 4 and PC sometime during spring 2016.
