Street Fighter 6 fans are angrier than Evil Ryu over Outfit 3 pricing
CapcomZangief looks dapper in his Outfit 3 look, but Street Fighter 6 fans will have to pay a pretty penny to get it.
Street Fighter 6 has finally released Outfit 3, but fans weren’t prepared for just what the pricing of the 18 costumes would be.
The long-awaited Outfit 3 has finally arrived for Capcom’s Street Fighter 6, but it’s not what fans were hoping for.
Outfit 3 features new looks for the various Street Fighter 6 characters and is the first piece of DLC with costumes for actual playable characters rather than being cosmetics for World Tour create-a-characters.
However, the new outfits have also launched at a surprising price point, and fans are taking to social media to stress their disappointment.
Street Fighter 6 Outfit 3 pricing has made already jaded fans even angrier
Street Fighter 6’s Outfit 3 costumes are priced at 300 Fighter Coins. This puts them just above the lowest cost of Fighter Coins available, which is 250 FC for $4.99. To buy the new suits, players must shell out $11.99 for the next highest bundle of 610 FC. Fighter Coins are a unique currency to Street Fighter 6, and cannot be unlocked or earned in-game.
To make matters worse, Outfit 3 is not unlockable through gameplay like Outfit 2. With a total of 18 costumes, players would have to fork over $100 to get all 18 costumes, and fans are pissed.
These costumes cost 300 FC

Unfortunately the 250 FC ($5) pack doesn’t cut it, so you need to get the next one up (610 FC, $12) just so you can get ONE skin
$100 bare minimum if you want all of them

So the costumes are about 6 dollars a piece but you have to use fighter coins to buy them and can only purchase the required coins in 10 dollar increments and there is no bundle option for them. I can’t believe they fumbled something that shoulda been easy to drop. https://t.co/lvmqcHZUsz

Currently, the only other way to get Outfit 3 is via the Year 1 Ultimate Pass, which costs $49.99. However, players who already purchased the Year 1 Character Pass would find much of the content doubled up. This also doesn’t take into account the cost of the base game itself, which runs $69.99 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Many fans are also using the opportunity to call out the game’s previous microtransaction-heavy releases. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle crossover in August was the source of controversy with its 750 FC per skin cost, approximately $55 worth of FC for all four skins.
You know this is why Street fighter 6 is getting harder to recommend to people when they pull scum moves like this.

Remember the TMNT suits? https://t.co/HdXIPSWHqg pic.twitter.com/5J5RBYRA7d
It's insane to me that getting every single outfit 3 costume will cost you more than the price of SF6 itself.

The pricing model for the extra content in SF6 has been absolutely ridiculous so far. Don't forget about the 60 dollar TMNT skins https://t.co/Jgltt1Bkaa
The Outfit 3 DLC consists of one new costume for each of the game’s core 18 fighters and four color schemes for each costume. No DLC characters are receiving new costumes at this time.
The latest DLC character, A.K.I., arrived in September. She’ll be followed by Ed sometime in the Winter of 2024 and Akuma in the Spring of 2024. As of this writing, no additional costume or character DLC has been announced.
Street Fighter 6 is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Serise X|S, and PC. For more Street Fighter 6 news, be sure to stick with Dexerto.
