This second global beta comes with a bevy of features as well, allowing you to play ranked matches, access leaderboards, search for other players, and unlockable items through the use of Fight Money. This is a beta so expect everything to be wiped.

For the PC users the minimum recommended PC specs are as follows:

OS Version

  • Recommended: Windows 7 64-bit

Processor

  • Minimum: Intel Core i3-4160 @ 3.60GHz
  • Recommended: Intel Core i5-4690K @3.50GHz

Memory

  • Minimum: 6 GB DDR3
  • Recommended: 8 GB DDR3

Graphics

  • Minimum: Nvidia GTX 480 (or higher)
    • Nvidia GTX 570 (or higher)
    • Nvidia GTX 670 (or higher)
    • Recommended: GTX 960

Network

  • Broadband Connection Required

DirectX Version

  • Minimum: DirectX 11
  • Recommended: DirectX 11

Sound Card

  • Minimum: DirectX compatible soundcard or onboard chipset

Street Fighter V supports Steamworks as well.

While PC users will be upset that Street Fighter V is not optimized for Windows 8 or the more popular Windows 10, Capcom as plenty of time to get that squared away closer to launch which is scheduled for a March 2016 release.

The PC beta build is available to pre-load on Steam. PC players will need at least 2GB to download the bet client.

This second beta will put the Capcom servers under the most stress seen since it will have to support both PS4 and PC users simultaneously. This brings up concerns since the last one had to be shut down by Capcom due to the pressure on Capcom’s servers. Ultimately two worlds will collide on October 24th that has been a dream to gamers since the rivalry between consoles and PC started.
