On top of that, this old method also forced players to purchase all of the new content, even if only a few characters may have appealed to them.” He continued: “This also punished players who took a break from playing the game, because if they wanted to start again in a few years, they would be forced to purchase an upgrade to join the existing player pool who had already moved on to a new version.

While these one-time updates did revive interest in the series every few years, it was difficult to keep players engaged for long periods of time unless they were competitive.” Rosas explained the reason for the change, saying: “Looking back on the Street Fighter 4 series, we had always released bundles of content all at once, like with Super Street Fighter 4 and Ultra Street Fighter 4. This means that the Ultra, Super and other editions of Street Fighter games of old will not make an appearance following the release of Street Fighter 5 in March 2016, but Capcom have also gone one step further by revealing that all of the game’s characters can be unlocked simply by playing the game.
