Alex Arrives Fighting Pass Suspected with Street Fighter 6 Server Maintenance Period Scheduled for Tonight
Capcom announced Alex, the next Street Fighter 6 DLC character, arriving on March 17, 2026. The company scheduled a server maintenance window tonight at 7:30 p.m. PT (10:30 p.m. ET) lasting about four and a half hours. Historically, Capcom releases fighting passes just before new characters, so the downtime likely introduces the “Alex Arrives Fighting Pass.” The pass is expected to bundle classic Street Fighter 3 music and avatar costume parts, leveraging nostalgia to boost engagement.
