Street Fighter V’s March update finally launches next week — and without a real-money store

Procrastinators all know that if you have a month to finish something, you’ll figure out a way to ensure the task takes all of that time — and I think publisher Capcom is one of them.

The company announced today that it will finally release the Street Fighter V “March update” on March 28 and March 30 for PlayStation 4 and PC. In the first half of this patch, players will get new modes and rematches in Ranked play. The second half will introduce Alex and his story content as well as the in-game shop. Capcom will not include Zenny, the in-game currency that costs real money, in this update because the publisher says that isn’t ready. Street Fighter is one of the top franchises in the competitive fighter scene, and Capcom is trying to establish this latest entry as the go-to game for this space, which is a significant segment of the $99.3 billion worldwide gaming industry.
