Street Fighter 6 Players Frustrated by Lack of Character Costumes

Street Fighter 6's New Battle Pass Faces Backlash for Lack of Character Costumes

Street Fighter 6 players are expressing significant dissatisfaction with the recently unveiled "Boot Camp Bonanza" battle pass. The issue isn't the content included – avatars, stickers, and other customization options – but rather the glaring omission of new character costumes. This has sparked considerable outrage across YouTube and other social media platforms.

The game, launched in Summer 2023, introduced innovative features while retaining classic gameplay. However, its DLC and premium add-on strategy has been a source of ongoing criticism. The latest battle pass exacerbates this, with many fans voicing their disappointment, even stating a preference for no battle pass at all over the current offering. One user, salty107, questioned the economic logic, asking, "Who is buying the avatar stuff this much for them to just throw away money like this lmao? Making actual character skins would be more profitable no?"

The absence of new costumes is particularly frustrating given the last release was the Outfit 3 pack in December 2023. Over a year later, players remain without new outfits, a stark contrast to the more frequent costume releases in Street Fighter 5. While Street Fighter 5 had its own controversies, the difference in Capcom's approach between the two games is undeniable.

The future of the battle pass remains uncertain. However, the core gameplay, particularly the innovative "Drive" mechanic, continues to attract players. This mechanic allows for strategic fight reversals, adding a fresh dimension to the classic Street Fighter formula. Despite the positive reception to the new mechanics and characters, the game's live-service model continues to alienate a significant portion of the fanbase as we enter 2025.
