Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 6 will be the sole game of next year's Capcom Pro Tour, with a record-breaking prize of $1million.
Capcom Cup 9 came to a close over the weekend, with my fellow Birdie main – the Dominican Republic’s MenaRD – becoming the first two-time Capcom Cup champion, as well as being the final champion for Street Fighter 5 . While Capcom announced in advance that there would be no new reveals for the upcoming Street Fighter 6 at the event, it did say that the 10th year of the Capcom Pro Tour will be held exclusively in Street Fighter 6, with a record-breaking grand prize.
The prize pool was announced on the @StreetFighter Twitter account, which says that the lucky winner of Capcom Cup 10 will be taking home $1million, with the entire prize pool for the Capcom Pro Tour being $2million. That makes it the biggest prize pool in the history of fighting games, with the previous record being held by Brawlhalla Esports 2022’s $1.32million across the season. Capcom is clearly confident in Street Fighter 6 as this $2million prize pool dwarfs the previous Capcom Cup record of $380,000 for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition.
