Street Fighter 6 Reaches 1 Million Sales in Japan

Capcom announced that it has sold over 1 million copies of Street Fighter 6 in Japan alone as of December 20, 2024. The company also launched numerous campaigns to celebrate the sales milestone. The celebrations range from merchandise sweepstakes to an interview with a former sumo wrestler.

The merchandise sweepstakes run until February 21, 2025, and it involves the social media X which is still widely used in Japan. People residing in the country can win a variety of prizes from T-shirts to a 23.8″ gaming monitor.

Capcom also published a new interview video with Terunofuji Haruo, the former sumo wrestler who had attained the highest Yokozuna rank. It covered Street Fighter 6‘s close connections to sumo, such as the in-game appearance of Edmond Honda and the game’s official tournaments being held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan National Sumo Arena.

For the record, the previous sales milestones Capcom announced for Street Fighter 6, such as 2 million in July 2023 and 3 million in January 2024, factored in purchases from all around the world. A week after the game just launched in June 2023, Famitsu recorded 21,192 PS5 game copies and 12,078 PS4 copies sold in Japan. Capcom’s new announcement noted that the 1 million sales milestone combines physical and digital sales of Street Fighter 6 on all available platforms made exclusively inside Japan.
