Just days after the announcement of Street Fighter 6 for Nintendo’s next-generation console, an in-depth graphics comparison has emerged. This analysis evaluates the game across the Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 platforms, showcasing promising visuals for a handheld device.

A notable distinction is the PS5’s more advanced lighting mechanics, alongside sharper textures that become apparent upon closer inspection. Nonetheless, Street Fighter 6 acts as a robust demonstration of the Switch 2 hardware, which boasts a performance level expected from contemporary handheld gaming devices. Capcom has confirmed that the title will achieve a stable 60 frames per second on the Switch 2, matching its performance on other platforms. However, it remains uncertain whether the World Tour Mode will maintain this frame rate, considering that it was capped at 30 frames per second on the PS4, yet ran smoothly at 60 frames on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Exclusive Features for Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2
The Switch 2 edition of Street Fighter 6 is set to include several unique features. Notably, the ‘Calorie Contest’ mode encourages head-to-head competition focused on calorie burning, while the ‘Gyro Battle’ mode allows players to execute combos utilizing the Switch 2’s gyro controls.
Street Fighter 6 is among the 20 confirmed launch titles for the Switch 2, which also features noteworthy games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Hitman: World of Assassination, and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut. Other popular titles, such as the Switch 2 editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, will also be available at launch. While the Switch 2 is scheduled for release on June 5, its initial price of $449.99 may rise due to recent tariffs on imported goods from Japan.
