Year 10
Feb 15, 2025 - Feb 15, 2026
Street Fighter V received no verified player-facing update in the supplied material. The listed releases and events belonged to Street Fighter 6, so they did not count as changes to this game.
- Game attribution: The records named Street Fighter 6 rather than Street Fighter V, leaving no confirmed Street Fighter V content drop.
- Excluded releases: Street Fighter 6 Year 1-2 Fighters Edition, Elena, and Sagat were Street Fighter 6 additions and were omitted as changes to another title.
- Window status: No Street Fighter V DLC, roster addition, named patch, mode, or event appeared in the supplied records.
Year 9
Feb 15, 2024 - Feb 15, 2025
No verified Street Fighter V content drop appeared in the supplied records. The headline Akuma release, Enma’s Hollow, and the later Terry and Mai material all belonged to Street Fighter 6, so they were excluded rather than presented as updates to Street Fighter V.
- Akuma and Enma’s Hollow: The records identified both as Street Fighter 6 additions, not Street Fighter V changes.
- Year 2 roster: M. Bison, Terry, and Mai were likewise described as Street Fighter 6 content and did not belong to Street Fighter V.
- Seasonal and system content: Fighting Passes, World Tour, Drive Tickets, birthday tournaments, and the battle-balance adjustment all referenced Street Fighter 6 systems, leaving no verified Street Fighter V update to summarize.
Year 8
Feb 15, 2023 - Feb 15, 2024
No verified Street Fighter V changes were captured in the tracked sources. The listed additions—including A.K.I., Ed, and Fighting Passes—belonged to Street Fighter 6, not Street Fighter V, so they did not represent updates for this game.
- Title attribution: Street Fighter 6 appeared throughout the tracked entries, while no named Street Fighter V update, DLC, character, mode, or balance patch appeared.
- Excluded character content: A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma were recorded as Street Fighter 6 additions and were not counted as Street Fighter V changes.
- Excluded live-service content: Fighting Passes, Capcom Cup Supporter Rewards, and character birthday events were Street Fighter 6 items rather than Street Fighter V updates.
