With the Rashid update, Street Fighter 6 proves its DLC plan is (almost) perfect
Street Fighter 6 has been out for a little over a month, and surprisingly Capcom has already seen fit to drop its first major content addition for the game in an update led by returning fighter Rashid.
Considered the protagonist of SF5, where he was on a solemn mission to avenge a murdered friend, Rashid is living a lighter life in SF6. An infuriating live streamer who parkours and flips around endlessly for views, it’s both great to have him back and see this character in a different place than in the previous game – and a growing roster is also a good thing.
But this update doesn’t stop there – and it’s a great proof of concept for how SF6’s DLC setup isn’t just for those entrenched in ranked matches and the online battle hub; it’s for all three prongs of the game, including those who adored its single-player.
