The gaming world is abuzz with a recent announcement from Capcom that has left Street Fighter fans divided! The iconic fighting game series is parting ways with Windows 10.
On October 14, 2025, Microsoft bid farewell to Windows 10, urging users to embrace the newer Windows 11 at no extra cost. While users could opt to stick with Windows 10, Microsoft's support and updates would no longer be available, potentially leaving the operating system's stability in question.
And here's where it gets tricky: Capcom has revealed that Street Fighter 6 will follow suit, no longer supporting Windows 10. This decision raises questions for gamers, especially those who haven't made the Windows 11 leap.
As of now, Street Fighter 6 runs on Windows 10, but Capcom won't be testing future updates on this platform. This means that while the game might continue to work, there's no assurance it will remain compatible with Windows 10 as updates roll out.
The big change: Street Fighter 6 now demands Windows 11. Capcom's official notice, released on November 11, 2025, informed players of this requirement. The company expressed gratitude to fans while explaining the situation:
'Microsoft's support for Windows 10 ended on October 14, 2025, so we cannot ensure Street Fighter 6's compatibility with Windows 10 from that date. While the game may still run post-October 14, system or game updates could render it incompatible with Windows 10.'
Capcom further emphasized that without Microsoft's support, they cannot guarantee the game's functionality on Windows 10. Any issues arising would be addressed using pre-October 14 data, and support for Windows 10-related problems will be discontinued.
The question remains: Is this a fair move by Capcom, or should they continue supporting Windows 10 players? Share your thoughts below! Are you a Windows 11 convert, or do you prefer the familiar Windows 10? Let's discuss the impact of this decision on the gaming community.
