Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Alex: New Fighting Pass Unlocks Exclusive Content and Gameplay
March 3, 2026
Alex Arrives Fighting Pass runs March 3 to April 7, with Premium access priced at 250 Fighting Coins to unlock all tiers.
EX Colors for Zangief and Akuma are included in the Alex Arrives Pass, appealing to grappler fans.
The update fits Street Fighter 6’s ongoing content cadence and aims to align Alex’s fighting style with the game’s aggressive Drive system.
The trailer shows the Power Bomb and Flash Axe with heavier, stance-driven gameplay, signaling a more impactful kit rather than a simple port.
Stickers themed to Alex and wrestling appear, including an Arm Lock sticker tied to the reveal trailer.
The Pass includes Avatar Gear themed around Alex—Roughneck’s Gloves, Jeans, Jacket, Beanie, and Shoes usable in Battle Hub lobbies and World Tour fights, with a free green version of Roughneck’s Gloves.
Alex joins the Street Fighter 6 roster on March 17, available through the Year 3 Character Pass or individually via Fighter Coins, with Ingrid teased as a future addition.
Alex returns with a bulkier, wrestling-oriented design and a new Prowler Stance enabling modular command grabs and improved mobility within Street Fighter 6’s Drive system.
Illustrations for the Challenger Screen feature Marisa and E. Honda, with E. Honda depicted karaoke-singing in a playful mood.
The Fighting Pass adds new cosmetics like EX colors for Zangief and Akuma, plus new challenger screens for Marisa and E. Honda, and introduces a DLC to play the 1987 arcade game Black Tiger in the Battle Hub.
Capcom released a trailer for Alex Arrives! Fighting Pass, showing the first proper gameplay of Street Fighter III’s Alex in the modern game.
Alex officially joins Street Fighter 6 on March 17, shortly after Capcom Cup 12 concludes the competitive SF6 season.
