Street Fighter 6 Rashid: Release Date, Fighter Pass And More

Rashidoooooooo! The first DLC character for Street Fighter 6 Rashid is dropping very soon! Here's everything you need to know!

Street Fighter 6 has already established itself as one of the best fighting games of the past decade. But a good release is just the start of what could be console generation long run. And with EVO 2023 coming up very soon, everyone is looking forward to the first addition to its impressive roster.

Street Fighter 5 Alumini Rashid is the first character to enter Street Fighter 6 with its first season of DLC. And he's not coming alone, up to his release there is also the “Get Ready For Rashid” Fighter Pass which contains some awesome rewards! But first up the release date.

Street Fighter 6 Rashid Release Date

Rashid is coming to Street Fighter 6 on June 24, 2023, to everyone who bought the Season Pass either individually or as part of the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions. You'll also be able to purchase him separately on all platforms.

If you want to try him out before buying, you can earn a 1 Hour Rental Token as part of the current Fighting Pass.

“The Soaring Eagle of the Desert” returns to Street Fighter with much of his kit from Street Fighter 5 but also a slew of new tricks:

• Arabian Cyclone: A new special move that performs a spinning kick and conjures up a whirlwind; can be used as a standalone blow, or transitioned into Rolling Assault or Wing Stroke
• Arabian Skyhigh: A new double jump move that keeps opponents guessing on where Rashid will land from the air
• Super Rashid Kick: Level 1 Super Art that unloads a devastating kick while soaring forward and up through the air
• Ysaar: Previously Rashid’s V-Trigger move in Street Fighter 5, this Level 2 Super Art summons a slow-moving whirlwind projectile that can be used to pressure opponents
• Altair: Rashid’s Level 3 Super Art calls forth a tempest that lifts opponents before he rains down on them with a monsoon of powerful blows

And aside from his implementation into the Fighting Grounds and Battle Hub, he'll also be featured in the game's World Tour Mode. Here players can learn his fighting style on their Avatar and pick up some of his moves.

If you have purchased the Deluxe Edition, you'll also get colors 3-10 for Outfit 1 and if you have purchased the Ultimate Edition you gain access to Outfit 2 (Rashid's Street Fighter 5 Outfit) with colors 1-10 (might also be available in World Tour Mode through the relationship system).
