Amidst blockbusters like Elden Ring or Call of Duty, fighting games may seem like a niche genre to some, but overall, the genre is thriving. EVO tournaments are breaking records, and the "big three" have all released strong titles, each successful in its own right, with none considered a failure.

The standout title right now is Street Fighter 6. Not only has it made significant strides graphically, but the new mechanics feel fresh, the characters are compelling, and the upcoming guest characters are generating a lot of buzz. As a result, Capcom has reported 4 million copies sold, which is an impressive figure.

It's important to note that fighting games now bring in revenue for developers and publishers not just through sales alone. Street Fighter 6 features a regular rotation of battle passes, offering various cosmetic items. However, the key factor is that people are still having fun playing it, and the upcoming update with two exciting new features will only enhance the gaming experience. Street Fighter 6 is just at the beginning of its journey, so we can expect even bigger numbers in the future.
