On the Capcom Unity site, the next beta for Street Fighter V was revealed. There are some changes that are coming around in this beta, including a swapping of characters, and the platforms you’ll be able to play it on.
First up, for the first time, the beta will be available on PC:
“We’re opening up beta access to PC users for the first time. Please check the minimum specs post here to make sure that your PC is able to run SFV properly. Although the minimum specs will allow you to run SFV on your PC, the recommended specs will ensure you have an optimal SFV experience. PC users gain access to the beta starting October 24th.”
Also, there will be crossplay between PC and PS4!
“We will be testing out PS4 to PC cross-platform play functionality on October 24th and 25th. This is a first for us and we are very excited for players across both platforms to finally have a chance to battle one another. Make sure to bring your best strategies as the number of people that you can fight against will be that much larger this time around.”
Most importantly though, the characters who will be including this time will be…
“Since the last beta, we’ve announced quite a few new characters and I’m pleased to confirm that they will be selectable during the beta. When the beta launches, Ken, Necalli, Vega and R. Mika will be selectable. As we’re still reviewing our content delivery system, Rashid will be added in on day two (October 23rd) and Karin added on day three (October 24th). The characters from the previous beta: Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, Birdie, Nash and M. Bison will not be selectable this time around.”
More details on what you can expect from the beta this time can be found on the Capcom Unity site. Street Fighter V will release in 2016.
