Street Fighter 6 Year 2

Street Fighter 6 is going strong. The game is currently on sale to celebrate its anniversary but Capcom didn’t stop there. The company has announced its Year 2 plans and it features four (4) exciting characters — two of which are from Fatal Fury.

The characters are the evil M. Bison and the capoeira master Elena. Rounding out the additions are Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui from SNK’s Fatal Fury series!

  • M. Bison (June 26th), first appearing as a playable character in Street Fighter™ II: Champion Edition, returns! Prepare yourself for an infusion of evil as the iconic and Psycho-Powered Shadaloo crime syndicate leader continues his unending quest for world domination.
  • Long-time Fatal Fury veteran Terry Bogard (Autumn 2024) joins the fight in Year 2 alongside his iconic casual look! The skilled street fighter takes his friendly attitude straight into battle to find the true meaning of strength.
  • Let’s also welcome Mai Shiranui (Winter 2025), the second crossover fighter from the Fatal Fury series, to the growing Street Fighter 6 roster! As a highly-skilled Shiranui-ryuu Kunoichi, Mai brings her deadly power to the game in Year 2!
  • Last seen in Street Fighter IV, the cheery Capoeira fighter Elena (Spring 2025) hits the streets as the final Year 2 character! Listen to the wind as you travel the world defeating opponents with Elena’s light-footed, dance-like moves.

Watch the character trailers.

Year 2 is almost upon us and we’ll have much more to share on each new character joining the game throughout the year! Year 2 Character and Ultimate Passes are also available online now here, as well as the main game which remains 50% off for a limited time!

M. Bison

The fist of the Year 2 bunch is M. Bison. He is the 23rd character and will be officially available on June 26, 2024 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam!

Watch the M.Bison trailer.

Bison’s move set will feel both familiar and fresh compared to previous Street Fighter installments, with Psycho Power and aggressive pressure still major parts of his fighting style, featuring some of the following moves:

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series

Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
