Capcom has shared a post to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Street Fighter 5, where it apologised for the game’s original state at launch.
“From the beginning to the middle of the release, there were network issues, lack of content, etc… We are truly sorry for the content that did not meet the expectations of many of you,” Capcom’s Japanese Street Fighter social media account shared over the weekend.
This is something we touched on in our own Street Fighter 5 review from 2016. As we said at the time: “Street Fighter 5’s brilliant combat is let down by a barebones launch and server troubles.”
