We’re now just hours away from Season 3 of Street Fighter 6 really kicking things into high gear with the launch of its first DLC character, but he’s not coming alone.
Capcom is gearing up to release Sagat in Street Fighter 6 alongside more content and features, and here’s when the updates are scheduled to go down — and what’s included in them.
According to their official posts, Street Fighter 6 is slated to enter server maintenance tonight, August 4, at 8 p.m. PT and last until midnight PT.
During this time, all online functionality will remain unavailable including matchmaking, the Battle Hub, in-game shop, and more.
Those who own the Year 3 Character or Ultimate Pass should be able to begin using Sagat as soon as the update becomes available to download during that period.
[Notice] #StreetFighter 6 server maintenance will take place at the time below and is expected to last around 4 hours.
August 4 at 8PM PDT

The first batch of Outfit 4 DLC will also be released as part of the patch, which we just received a trailer for the costumes at Evo 2025.
There will be seven individual outfits in total for Luke, Kimberly, Cammy, A.K.I., Chun-Li, Manon and Jamie available individually though we don’t know the exact prices on them just yet.
For additional content, Capcom is going to give special JP costume colors to SF6 players who correctly guessed ZETA|Kakeru would win Capcom Cup 11 as well.
The developers are offering some new quality of life updates too in the coming patch.
Firstly, they’re adding a new Drive Link feature to more easily set up matches with friends and club members by pressing the “Play with Friends” button on the main menu.

We should also be receiving some new patch notes as well, however, since they released the big Season 3 balance changes in June, we aren’t expecting many if any character changes this time around outside of some potential bug fixes.

⏪ “Recommended Replays” will now suggest replays for characters you struggle against and top players using your characters.
⏪ Can switch tabs in “My Replays.”
