You’ve waited years to get your hands on Street Fighter 5, it finally launches and you head online to show everyone else who’s the best. Sadly, many of you did this overnight to find the game’s servers fall down under the stress.
We are aware of the server issues that are affecting the online functionality of SFV, and are working towards a quick resolution.

We have identified the issue that caused the servers to go down and we aim to have them back up momentarily. Thanks for your patience.
