Is SF6 crossplay?

Online matchmaking in Street Fighter 6 is simply excellent. Not only can you play with friends and random opponents at a relatively big physical distance, but also, you can access SF6 cross-platform fights from all the supported systems.
It sure is the industry standard at this point, and it’s great to see the Capcom developers implementing full crossplay support for SF6. The advantages are:

You can play Street Fighter 6 on:
- PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X and S

Is SF6 available on the Nintendo Switch?
No, Street Fighter 6 is too demanding to run on the Switch. On the Nintendo console, you can play Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. It includes many classic games, such as different versions of Street Fighter II, III, and Alpha.
Does crossplay affect SF6 performance?
Crossplay works fine in Street Fighter 6. The technical aspects are fully covered, and you will not have issues.
Still, some gamers don’t like this feature, especially console players. It is widely considered that PC players are more likely to install cheating software, and to avoid this threat, you may want to play with opponents on consoles only.
Real issues that affect SF6 performance are the quality of your Internet connection, so play Street Fighter 6 and any other fighting game through the Ethernet cable. If you play on a computer, the power of your PC may affect your performance negatively. Decreasing the video quality may solve such problems.

If you decide to disable crossplay in Street Fighter 6, do it in the general Options menu or in the Matchmaking menu.
- Press the Options/Menu button on your controller
- Head to the Game tab
- Select only your platform or all the platforms in the Crossplay Settings.
