Capcom has rolled out update 1.21 for Street Fighter 6, marking the arrival of the first Year 3 character, Sagat. The iconic Muay Thai master joins the roster with new costumes, combo trials, arcade story, and a stage titled Proud Spire. Alongside his inclusion, players can access Sagat’s character guide, commentary, titles, and unlocks across various modes. His arrival also impacts the World Tour mode with a new set of missions and a mini-game, both offering exclusive costume color unlocks.
This update further enhances the user experience with adjustments to the Battle Hub, replay features, and Training Mode. The Drive Link system has been introduced to improve friend and club matchmaking. Meanwhile, the Goods Shop has been updated with new outfits for several characters. Although no character balance changes were included in the patch itself, specific adjustments can be reviewed on the official website. Previous replays are now incompatible, and certain player data may no longer display.
