Excitement is building in the gaming community as Street Fighter 6 prepares to welcome a new DLC character, the iconic SNK fighter Mai Shiranui. This eagerly awaited addition will be available to players on Wednesday, February 5. However, before players can dive into the action with Mai, Capcom has scheduled a server maintenance period to implement the necessary updates.
Server Maintenance Details
The maintenance is set to take place the night before Mai’s launch, specifically on Tuesday, February 4. During this time, the servers will be taken offline to facilitate the update process. Here’s what players can expect regarding the maintenance schedule:
- Pacific Time (PT): February 4, 8 p.m. – February 5, 12 a.m.
- Eastern Time (ET): February 4, 11 p.m. – February 5, 2 a.m.

- Japan Standard Time (JST): February 5, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Players should be aware that all online content will be inaccessible during the maintenance period, which means that they won’t be able to log into the game or access features like Challenges and the Shop.
What’s New in the Update?
In addition to introducing Mai Shiranui as a playable character, this update will also enhance the gameplay experience with several quality-of-life improvements. Some key highlights include:
- New Ranked Match Ranks: Players will now have the opportunity to achieve higher ranks such as High Master, Grand Master, and Ultimate Master. These ranks will come with new collectible points that can unlock various rewards, including new character colors.
- Match Restore Feature: For Custom Room matches, a “Match Restore” option will be introduced, allowing players to resume matches from the exact moment a disconnection occurs.
- Replay Review: After completing a match, players will have the ability to review their recent replays, enhancing their learning and strategy development in both ranked and casual gameplay.
- World Tour Mode Improvements: The single-player World Tour mode will receive updates, making it easier for players to identify and connect with Master characters right from the start through the Status menu.
With these changes, Street Fighter 6 aims to provide a more engaging and enjoyable experience for both new and veteran players alike. The community eagerly anticipates the arrival of Mai and the exciting enhancements that will come with her debut.
