The fact it's coming to the now past-gen consoles also seems to suggest that the Street Fighter 6 release date will be sooner rather than later, as it would be odd to plan a game for a 2022 or later release and still have it support PS4 and Xbox One. The leak reveals platforms listed in the data and suggests that Street Fighter 6 will be available on both PS5 and Xbox Series X - as well as PS4, Xbox One, and PC, making it a proper cross-gen title that should help broaden the upcoming game's appeal.
