Street Fighter 6 closed beta 2 Battle Hub features: All playable characters, stages, game modes, and more

Street Fighter 6 is finally getting its second closed beta testing period across all platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) via Steam.

Since the initial beta period in October had a good run, Capcom has now announced the dates for the new testing phase.

Players will be able to try out the beta from December 16, 2022, to December 19, 2022. Those who were a part of the first beta will automatically receive an invite, while the rest will be chosen from a lottery once they have linked their Capcom ID to the respective platforms.

There will be a fair number of balance changes and bug fixes in the upcoming beta. However, when it comes to playable content, one will have access to more or less the same features that were available in the first testing phase.

Given below are all the features that players will have access to in the upcoming Street Fighter 6 closed beta 2.
