Online Lobbies, Spectating Planned for Street Fighter V’s March Update

Earlier today, we reported on details Capcom provided regarding Street Fighter V’s downloadable content schedule. While character release intervals were the main focus, their timeline also provided some insight into online play.

Unfortunately, it’s looking like Street Fighter V won’t launch with lobbies. They, along with spectating, will be added to the game sometime in March, alongside Alex, the in-game store, various gameplay modes, and more. When they do arrive, the online hang-outs will support up to eight players.

Street Fighter V releases for PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16. Be sure to keep this information in mind if the early lack of lobbies is a dealbreaker.
