Street Fighter 6 received its final Year 3 character on May 29, 2026, when Capcom released Ingrid. The fighter, first seen in Capcom Fighting Jam and announced at Summer Game Fest 2025, marks the end of new World Tour story content for the game. The same update introduced Avatar Random Match and Avatar Arcade modes, plus Outfit 3 for all Year 3 characters and a free DriveTech Wear outfit for all users. The release drove Street Fighter 6 to a new all-time high of approximately 72,000 concurrent players on Steam on May 28.
On the competitive side, ZETA DIVISION announced on May 29 that two-time Capcom Cup champion MenaRD has joined its Street Fighter division as a member of ZETA DIVISION Geekly for the Street Fighter League: Pro-JP 2026 season. MenaRD, who remains affiliated with Weibo Gaming, will compete alongside returning players Momochi, Higuchi, and Yamaguchi. Player and caster Jajii has joined as a coach. The roster spot opened after Hikaru transferred to RIDDLE in April 2026 and follows Sho's retirement from competitive play in 2025. ZETA DIVISION Geekly retains naming rights sponsor Geekly, an IT recruitment agency, for the upcoming season. The team's lineup is widely considered a top contender for the 2026 championship, with all four players having achieved notable results at recent world tournaments, including Yamaguchi's win at EVO Japan 2026 and Higuchi's third-place finish at the same event.
