Game-Specific Benchmarking Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Capcom Released a Benchmarking Tool for Street Fighter 6 on PC

— May 30, 2023 — Tech
Capcom, the game development studio and publisher behind the upcoming fighting game 'Street Fighter 6,' recently released a dedicated benchmarking tool for the popular game. This tool will be downloadable by customers now, just four days ahead of the release of Street Fighter 6. This tool will allow these users to ensure that their computer reaches their desired performance levels in the game, prior to committing $70 USD to purchasing the title.

As game requirements increase and computer hardware gets more expensive, benchmarking tools like this are a welcome addition to any game release, as it reduces the number of refunds for the company, offers peace of mind to customers, and is overall good for transparency and communication. Customers would be deeply upset if they were excited for a game, only to find out that they do not have powerful enough hardware to play it on release day.
