Capcom has postponed the first Street Fighter 5 PS4 beta test, but promises it will be back once working as intended.
A statement published on Capcom-Unity reads: “Capcom offers its sincerest apologies to everyone who participated in this first beta test. While the purpose of a beta is to work out these type of issues, it was very clear that the issues we faced were more severe than we were prepared for.
“After three days of testing, while we were making progress and collecting valuable data, we felt the majority of players were not having a good experience, and the best course of action would be to take the servers offline for extended maintenance. We will be postponing our first beta phase until we believe the experience is going to be a positive one for players.”
Furthermore, Capcom has confirmed that this initial beta test will not count towards the previously announced tests.
“To be clear, this first beta test attempt will not count toward our previously announced beta test allotments,” states Capcom. “There will still be at least three full beta tests prior to the game’s launch. So for those in the Americas that feel disappointed that they were not able to experience their pre-order incentive, there will be plenty of opportunities prior to launch to experience the game.”
Similarly, the in-game incentive promised to those who took part in the beta will remain available when the beta re-opens.
Capcom concludes: “To all of the players that participated and supported us through this initial phase, we cannot thank you enough. We understand how frustrating it is to be so close to playing the game you are excited for, and to not have it working. The whole team here is very disappointed that we were unable to deliver a proper beta experience this time. Thank you so much for your continued support, and we promise that we will have a better experience for you with the future betas.”
Street Fighter 5 is scheduled to launch in the spring for PS4 and PC. Pre-order Street Fighter V now on PS4 or PC.
