At EVO 2026, Razer has unveiled the Razer Kitsune – Ryu Edition, a limited-edition leverless fight stick for PS5 and PC featuring artwork of the iconic Street Fighter 6 character.

The fight stick features a fully dye-sublimated aluminium top plate with a black-and-white design and red accents that reflect the character's aesthetic. It retains the same hardware foundation as the original all-button Razer Kitsune, utilising a Quad Movement Button Layout instead of a traditional joystick to eliminate input errors.

Razer has equipped the device with low-profile linear optical switches to provide shorter actuation heights and faster input responses. Customisable Razer Chroma RGB lighting is also integrated into the chassis, allowing users to select from multiple presets and colour combinations.

Built for tournament travel, the controller uses a slim form factor and features a detachable USB-C cable with a built-in cable security clasp. A Tournament Lock Switch is also built into the device to disable non-essential buttons. The Kitsune – Ryu Edition arcade controller is now available to pre-order for $319.99.

KitGuru says: Leverless controllers continue to see high adoption in the fighting game community, and this limited-edition variant provides a stylish option for Street Fighter competitors ahead of EVO.

With Ingrid coming soon to Street Fighter 6 as the final Year 3 character, many have started to wonder who will be part of the game's Year 4 roster. While CAPCOM has yet to say anything on the matter, a reliable source who correctly revealed the Year 2 characters (including the unexpected arrival of Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui) before the official announcements provided the alleged list of new characters, which includes Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart, among others. Commenting last month on the Street Fighter official subreddit, user RnK_Clan revealed that Vega will be among the Year 4 characters, […]

Prior to the launch of Street Fighter 6, Capcom claimed that they hoped the game would wind up pushing 10 million copies. Upon its release, SF6 proved to be a big hit, selling 1 million copies in its first 3 days while going on to break the concurrent player record for any fighting game on Steam. Despite closing in on 3 years since launch, Street Fighter 6 has found a second life, with its latest update helping the title to achieve a new record player count.

Upon its initial release, Street Fighter 6 came out the gate swinging, with Capcom’s latest fighting game launching to a peak concurrent player count of 70,573. At the time, this put SF6 as the most-played fighting game in Steam history, with the previous record going to Mortal Kombat 11 (with a peak CCU of 35K).

Since then Street Fighter 6’s player counts have ebbed and flowed with each update – though none have been able to surpass its launch highs. That said, in the wake of SF6’s latest update (which introduces fan-favourite character Alex alongside a bunch of balance tweaks) the game has managed to outdo itself with a peak CCU of 72,067 players.

Compared to its contemporaries, Street Fighter 6 seems to be having quite long legs, with the likes of Tekken 8 and Mortal Kombat 1 seeing pretty low CCU numbers (their 24hr peaks are currently resting at 9,563 and 1,386 respectively.)

With Street Fighter 6 sitting at 6 million copies sold, and now seeing a new surge in players, it’s safe to assume that Capcom will manage to hit their 10 million target sooner or later.
