We Are Never, Ever, Ever, Getting ‘Street Fighter 5’ On Xbox One

Briefly: Back in December of last year, Capcom unveiled the highly anticipated Street Fighter V… as a PC and PS4 exclusive.

Now, fans (and non-PS4 owners) everywhere have simply assumed that this was a timed exclusive, and that Xbox players would surely see the game on their console of choice soon after launch.

Apparently, this is not the case. Speaking with Gamespot, a Capcom representative confirmed that Street Fighter 5 is never leaving the Playstation console:

One comment we see a lot is that something like a Super Street Fighter 5 is going to come out on Xbox, but the reality is that this is a real partnership. We are console exclusive for this franchise for this numbered run.

 

We’re not talking about how we’re handling post-launch content, but I can say the relationship with Sony does open doors for things we haven’t been able to do in the past.

 

The relationship serves a gameplay and development purpose, and not just a marketing value.

Fighting fans, does this news make you more likely to pick up a PS4? Or skip out on SFV entirely? Me? I’m still bummed out that Rise of the Tomb Raider is only headed to Xbox One.
