Online functions will be unavailable while a massive content update is prepared.
Online warriors will need to postpone their Street Fighter V fix for much of today, as the servers will be down for maintenance from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT.
We will perform server maintenance from 10am to 5pm on 7/25 PDT. Thank you for your patience and support.

Today is the release date for a large amount of new SFV content: new character Abigail is joining the roster, and is bringing the Metro City Bay Area stage with him; the Kanzuki Family Stadium CPT stage and the Champion’s Choice CPT costume for Guile designed by Liquid|NuckleDu; Ryu’s classic Suzaku Castle stage from Street Fighter II and nostalgia costumes for Alex, Ibuki, and Juri; and the new sports outfits for Laura, Ibuki, and Rashid!
This looks to be a hard day on the wallets of the Street Fighter V faithful.
