The Deluxe Edition

If, however, you are looking to vamp up your high-intensity brawling experience, then you may want to consider the Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition costs 73.94 Euros at 2Game, which also includes the 13% discount. For the extra 21.75 Euros, you receive the Year 1 Character pass as well as the full game.

The Year 1 Character pass contains four new characters which aren't otherwise available without the pass. These characters include the laid-back technology whizz, Rashid (to be added in Summer, 2023); the clawed female protagonist; A.K.I. (Autumn, 2023), the stone-cold demon, Akuma (Spring 2024); and the purple-eyed, psycho-powered Ed (Winter 2024). The pass also includes four additional character colors for Outfit 1 (from colors 3-10).

For a character-driven combat extravaganza like Street Fighter, the addition of new fighters adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay, providing hours' worth of additional high-octane entertainment. It is certainly worth considering.

Also enjoying a 13% discount at 2Game, the Ultimate Edition of Street Fighter 6 will set you back 91. 34 Euros. For this price, you get the full game as well as the Year 1 Ultimate Pass. Drum roll...

The Year 1 Ultimate Pass includes the Characters package that comes with the Deluxe Edition (tick), but it further provides extra cosmetic options to really make your fighters zing. These options include outfit 1 colors 3-10, outfit 2 colors 1-10, and outfit 3 colors 1-10. For a game that prides itself on its '90s-inspired graffiti-style graphics, we're excited to see what these customization options add to the colorful hip-hop vibe of the game.

As well as the additional characters and cosmetic upgrades, the Ultimate package contains a bunch more content, including two additional stages to keep the fights going for longer. It also comes with a wad of extra in-game currency, 7,700 Drive Tickets to be exact, which will be sure to come in handy in the story mode as you battle your way to enlightenment.

To sum up, the Ultimate Edition is the definitive package for anyone planning to play Street Fighter 6 for a long time. Which, let's face it, is probably most of us!
