Why it matters
The DLC turns Street Fighter 6's Drive Gauge, Burnout and Stun states into desktop mascot behavior, so the collaboration carries the fighting game's systems rather than just its character models.

The two Street Fighter 6 characters were recreated under Capcom's supervision, and each pack costs 2,200 yen including tax. Steam store pages for both went live on November 6 with wishlist registration open. The packs support Japanese and English voices, using the in-game voices from Street Fighter 6, and each character's language can be switched separately in the settings screen. The headline feature is a technique action, which Infinite Loop calls a first for Desktop Mate: repeated clicks on the character trigger a special move that sends desktop windows flying. Ryu's Hadoken launches any window it hits in its direction of travel, and Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick pushes windows in and blows them away. Blown windows bounce off the screen edges and stop, and Infinite Loop states the data inside them is unaffected.
Clicking further upgrades the technique action to "Super Art Lv3," where Ryu launches windows with the Shin Shoryuken and Chun-Li with the Kikosho (Shouten Ranka). Special moves sometimes turn into an "OD version" wrapped in a golden aura. Each OD move consumes Drive Gauge, and when the gauge empties the character enters a gray "Burnout" state. Clicking then makes the character collapse, "Stunned," a Desktop Mate-specific effect that wears off if left alone for a while.
- Technique actions trigger only on repeated clicks, and the characters otherwise sit on windows, play with the mouse and tell the time.
- Windows that fly off bounce off the screen edges and eventually stop.
- The multi-character function shows Ryu and Chun-Li together, and they can be paired with the free default character Aieltan or other owned DLC. Per-character size adjustment is supported, but multi-character is not available on the Mac open beta.
- Both characters keep idle behavior: Ryu does push-ups and eats yokan when seated, while Chun-Li kicks high, squats with a barbell and sprays perfume.
- Supported systems are Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and macOS Tahoe 26 or later, and Desktop Mate is sponsoring Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026.
