Street Fighter V Server Issues and Launch Information on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Capcom would like to reassure players that the issues that some consumers have been experiencing since the Street Fighter V launch earlier this week are being addressed. It is making on-going improvements to stabilise the servers so that online connectivity problems and log-in errors that people are facing will no longer occur. The company is happy to report that most of the issues that have been reported have now been resolved. A full break down of what has been fixed to date is available here.

Capcom would like to assure players that it will be continually monitoring around the clock for on-going gameplay issues and player feedback. Players can check the official Twitter for regular updates on any functionality issues they might be experiencing, including any further server errors or if we have to initiate any down time.

Additional Street Fighter V content will be added throughout 2016, with the first update coming in March. The initial purchase you make for Street Fighter V is definitely the only one you need to make to ensure you have the latest version of the game, as content including the additional characters is earnable for free and the Cinematic Story Expansion, for those of you who want an in-depth single-player story mode experience, will be added into the game for free in June. There will be no Super, Ultra, Hyper or Turbo editions of the game. Street Fighter V is it.

The in-game store will open in March and rest assured all players who have been earning Fight Money from Day 1 will then be able to cash that in for additional content. If you have completed all the single-player content available at launch you will have enough Fight Money to receive the 17th character - Alex - totally free. As there is no Day 1 DLC for Street Fighter V, the in-game store won't be going live until the first update and daily challenges will then also be available for players to complete.

Right now players are only able to invite one friend to play via the Battle Lounge. In March that will be updated so that players can expand their friend list. This decision was made so that servers are not put under further strain in the initial launch period.
