The second closed beta test for Street Fighter 6 will take place from December 16 to December 19, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam (with cross-play enabled).

Players can apply for the closed beta now on the Street Fighter website.

If players gained access to the first closed beta, they will already have automatic access to the second one without having to apply again.

Capcom has stated that players must now already have their Capcom ID and platform account linked before applying for the second closed beta.

According to the publisher, this is because some players were selling their access codes for the first closed beta.
