According to the Xbox store page for Street Fighter 6, the game is listed at around 50 GB, while the Steam version says it will require 60 GB or so. The file size for PlayStation versions isn't currently available yet. The previous title, Street Fighter 5, was around 35 GB, excluding the game's cinematic story mode. This lines up with recent Capcom games that have utilized the RE Engine, which have had similarly large file sizes. Interestingly enough, the size of the full game is only slightly bigger than Street Fighter 6's closed beta application, which was 42 GB.

 

In terms of the game's pre-download date, this was found on the PS4 and PS5 versions of Street Fighter 6. It states that those who've digitally pre-ordered the game will be able to download it starting on May 31, 2023, which is a few days shy of its official release. The Steam page for the game states that it will unlock within 6 weeks and pre-loading it will be available on June 1. The Xbox version will likely have a date that is within this range. Fans should expect a day one patch to be installed with the pre-download, while physical copies will need to download the update before playing.

Aside from the showcase later this week, Street Fighter 6's comic book miniseries is also being released in the weeks leading up to the game's June release. The first issue is a one-shot that features some of the newcomers, which will be released on Free Comic Book Day, May 6, 2023. The weekly issues following that will be focused on Ken Masters' story and how he ties into the story of this upcoming game.
