CapCom Unity has news that
Street Fighter V will undergo beta testing
this weekend to vet the fighting game sequel for its upcoming release. As far as
we know, this is for the PlayStation 4 only. Here's the plan:
We are happy
to announce that this week we will be running the first of a series of region
specific stress tests for Street Fighter V, which aim to gather information from
those areas.
The first regional test will be begin in Europe on Thursday August 20th from
16:00-00:00 BST, and continue on Friday August 21st from 16:00-00:00 BST. When
we are confident with the results from this test, we will share the dates and
times for North America and Asia’s region specific tests, and once we have
successfully completed each regional stress test, we will announce the dates and
times of the official global beta test. The global beta test will still take
place for the previously promised 5 days of time, so the regional stress tests
are just an added bonus.
Please note that, although this time we anticipate these tests being a smoother
experience, there may still be issues experienced by some users which could
hinder their experience. We would like to reiterate that all data received
during each regional stress test will help us ensure that the game performs at
an optimal level.
It should be noted that your Street Fighter V beta will still work, and you
should not require another code, however please ensure you have installed the
latest patch, if your beta has not automatically updated.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
