Collector’s
Mad Gear Box isStreet Fighter 6’s Collector’s Edition that comes with an artbook, sticker set, figures, and digital perks. But it’s a GameStop-exclusive release, and players will need to check with their local stores to get one.

Ultimate Edition
The Ultimate Edition is a digital-exclusive release that contains every perk of the Deluxe version, with the only difference being its Year-One Pass. While the Deluxe Edition gives players a character-limited yearly pass, the Ultimate gives them access to all DLCs lined up for 2023-2024. So, by purchasing this copy of the game, players will be able to download four additional characters and get other paid content at no extra cost for a year.
Considering the Ultimate Edition’s $104.99 price tag, it is not the ideal option for an averagefighting game fan. However, gamers who intend to play the game for an extended period will enjoy the additional content available in 2023 and 2024.
