Capcom emailed out Street Fighter 6 Trial Codes yesterday. Only a very few people managed to receive these trial codes for the Street Fighter 6 Beta.

Due to the rarity of these trial codes and the game’s popularity, these are being sold on eBay for a massive price. Players are bidding hundreds of dollars for the Street Fighter 6 trial codes to access the game.

Recently, a user posted in the FGC Saltposting group on Facebook that brought attention to these trial codes being sold for a huge price on eBay.

Street Fighter 6 Trial Codes are in high demand on eBay.
The Street Fighter 6 closed beta was announced on September 6th, when Street Fighter’s official Twitter account also confirmed the return of classic fighters. The closed beta will be available from October 7th to October 10th and will feature cross-play.

The closed beta selection took place on October 6th, and only a few players worldwide managed to receive these trial codes from Capcom, which was against expectations.

Capcom will likely conduct an open beta test in the future before the official release of Street Fighter 6. That will allow many players that missed their chance on the closed beta to try out the game before release.

Street Fighter 6 is a highly-anticipated title at the moment. The game will feature a rollback netcode and an open-world fighting experience. The fighting game will let you build customized characters for the World Tour mode. You’ll also be able to learn techniques and special moves from Street Fighter characters spread throughout the world.

Street Fighter 6 will also feature several unique game modes, such as the Battle Hub, where you can interact and compete with up to 100 other players worldwide.

The Battle Hub will also host tournaments periodically. And will also allow you to play older classic Street Fighter games from the game center cabinets. The game’s unique features and modes are set to change fighting games for the better.

The game will be officially released in 2023 for Steam, PlayStation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

Idiots selling , Twots buying.

Leave them to it, I say.

Are they though? Just because they are offering them doesn't mean people are buying them.

 

[RoboFu]

This isn’t the same as scalpers hoarding and selling ps5s to me. If you want to shell out money for a beta .. go for it.

Yeah, maybe they're just scanning the market. Let's see how many people actually fall into the marketing disguised as a beta test trap and pay this amount of money.

 

[Roni]

Hoarding is becoming a legit way of life, it seems...

 

[SmokedMeat]

Scalper bottom feeders will try to take advantage of others, every chance they get.

I can’t imagine anyone paying anything let alone that kind of money to get into a beta.

 

[clarky]

i call bullshit on this, not you the OP but the "story"
write a few listings get colleagues to bid vola instant clicks.

Nobody is paying £800 for streetfighter access. LMFAO

 

[Freeman76]

Dont blame them. If someone is wealthy enough to pay that then why not capitalise

These guys are clowns asking those prices haha - theres keys being sold online for $15 and plenty of stock...

This is what happens during a supply chain crisis in a period of high inflation. The haves have plenty of cash lying around from inflated assets and the poors have stimmy checks to burn through.

[Rykan]

Act now, and get our Street Fighter 6 Beta access plus a brand new Playstation 5 for just 1800$

 

[Wandering Leopard]

The potential buyers are idiots, people will always try and do things to make money, but the buyers also have a choice.

Im willing to bet theres at least 1 gafer who prolly bought one.

Wasn't there a story about someone buying quite a bit of Nintendo stock so he could ask a damn question?
Probably not thousands who would do it, but some people certainly pay a fuckton of money for early access.
also Star Citizen ships...
or tips for sfw and nsfw ladies...
some people are just rich and have no problem spending "peanuts"

 

[Scotty W]

I just got mine for 750!

My Onlyfans gf is gonna be upset, but it’ll be worth it in the long run!

 

[anthony2690]

Man, as much as I love what I've played of the beta, I could've covered 10+ game purchases with selling the code

Ah well!

Believe absolutely zero about whats in the press these days. For example heres my brother in every national news paper just the other month. Complete bullshit of course.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Damn, I stay missing out on the side hustle. Internet keeps showing me each day that there are a ton of goofies in this world. Sheesh.

 

[Orbital2060]

How much will people pay for a Diablo IV beta code?

Spoiler

j/k not for sale

 

[Makki]

Only fools buying are youtubers and twitchers, and they will get donations to pay for it anyway. I say props to the lucky code holder

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[GymWolf]

You must be a certified beta male to even think about it.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Fools and their money.

 

[Fuz]

How retarded can people be?

 

[adamsapple]

How retarded can people be?

Apparently almost a grand worth going by this stupidity ..

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Newsflash: Nobody is actually paying up.

 

[Bloobs]

 

[deriks]

If you want to play before, that's the price. Buys who wants to buy

 

[SSfox]

I mean those are retard, but those who are gonna buy are even more i think.

If you're dumb enough to fall for it then it's not the scalpers fault. I hate scalpers btw.

 

[chromhound]

 

[jaysius]

Didn't morons pay that much or more for the Elden Ring beta?

 

[Alter_Fridge]

That's over 9000!

Unlimited dumbess.

No they're probably buying them, then doing a paypal chargeback.

That is the way scammers operate on ebay, when it comes to keys.

These sellers are setting themselves up to be ripped off.

Either way ebay is a shit hole, whether you're dealing with sellers or buyers.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Ummm okay.......

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Paying a lot for something permanent can be crazy enough, but for a stupid beta that’s not even going to last? Wow.

 

[MiguelItUp]

There are a lot of people out there with money to burn. Whales, stream donators + subscribers, etc. This kind of thing, while ridiculous, wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure people will do outlandish things with a ton of money to spend and a wild case of FOMO.

[brian0057]

Idiots selling

They're making $900 per code. It's the people buying that are the idiots.
I'm not gonna lie, that's impressive.
Now, if the people don't buy it and then the sellers lose money, then they're the idiots.

 

[nikos]

Nobody's paying that much. They're either running auctions up to troll, or they're going to take the code/account and file a dispute with PayPal to get their money back. They'd be crazy to take the risk with that much money involved though.

I actually made an offer for $50 on an auction yesterday that was declined. Today, the seller messaged me asking if I still wanted the code. No doubt people are buying codes, but not for that much money.

My OnlyFan's GF's BF will be pretty upset with me too.

 

[Nobody_Important]

At first I thought the title said $90 and thought that was outrageously dumb.

Then I saw it was $900 and started audibly laughing. I'd say they have more money than sense, but if someone is dropping money like that for Street Fighter then that isn't very hard to do.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

If true then the buyers are absolutely beyond help. Best of luck to them…

 

[RoboFu]

Im willing to bet theres at least 1 gafer who prolly bought one.

 

[Labolas]

Clown world indeed.

 

[Falc67]

Can’t believe people paying 900 to play a game for three days, when you can just enable console sharing with one of your friends who has the beta and download from there.. voila..
