Capcom to ban players who play the Street Fighter 6 beta before or after it ends

The last Street Fighter 6 Closed Beta was held in December 2022, but it seems that players have still managed to access it. Capcom has detected players using exploits to continue playing the beta, giving them an unfair advantage ahead of the full launch. The latest statement by Capcom firmly states this is a violation of service terms, and players convicted of playing the beta will be banned from the Capcom Pro Tour.

Accessing the Street Fighter 6 beta “outside the designated period” will earn players Pro Tour bans

The statement reads:

“It has come to our attention that some users have been accessing the Street Fighter 6 Closed Beta Test (CBT) software and playing the game outside the designated period. This is a violation of the CBT Terms of Service and can be seen as a violation of the Capcom Pro Tour code of conduct.”

However, the publisher implied that bans have not currently been handed out. The wording of the statement implies that those found playing the beta after their warning will be banned:

“For the avoidance of doubt, from this point forward, any player who is shown with clear evidence to be accessing the CBT in an unauthorized way may be deemed ineligible for the upcoming Capcom Pro Tour and Street Fighter League seasons.”

When does the game come out?

The launch of Street Fighter 6 is just a month away, releasing on all platforms on June 2, 2023. Additionally, the developers also laid out the character roadmap for the upcoming year after launch. Here are the characters being added:
