Street Fighter 6 is just a few days away from its release on June 2. There"s already a free demo of the game you can check out. However, PC gamers who want to play the latest game in Capcom"s fighting game series could get a heads up on if their rig can play the game at its optimum level by downloading and running the newly launched Street Fighter 6 benchmark tool.
The benchmark tool will use the demo version of the game as its basis, and then generate a score that may show how well your rig can run the game. If the tool shows a score of 91 or above, your gaming PC should be able to run Street Fighter 6 with no performance issues:
- 91-100 - Can play the game with ease
- 71-90 - Can play the game without any problems
- 51-70 - Settings adjustment recommended
- 31-50 - Settings adjustment required
- 0-30 - Cannot operate the game
The benchmark tool web page has instructions on how to download and install the tool. Capcom does say there might be an issue with launching the tool with a shortcut. If you run into this problem, you will need to find the tool"s executable file. Once you download and install it you can find it at this location:
- "StreetFighter6.exe" in C:\Program Files (x86)\CAPCOM}StreetFighter6 Benchmark
Capcom says they are trying to find the problem that caused the shortcut not to work. Also, Capcom does say that this benchmark tool "cannot fully guarantee how well the actual release version" of the full game will run on your PC.
Capcom has also released the PC system requirements for Street Fighter 6.
