Street Fighter 6: A battle suitable for all ages or a restricted rumble?
The release of Street Fighter 6 will mark the beginning of a new era for fighting games. One of SF6’s amazing modes, the World Tour is an open-world exploration story mode that is certainly the game changer in the history of fighting games. With many legendary characters making a comeback in Street Fighter 6, Capcom has also introduced some new characters to the roster. SF6 sounds very promising, and for the same reason, it’s only natural to ponder upon the age restrictions of the game.

Street Fighter 6 secures an age rating in South Korea
It was seen that in the country of South Korea, Street Fighter 6 has secured an age rating of 15. Gamers only around the age of 15 and above will be allowed to play the game. Perhaps, this is because of the immense physical damage and violence displayed in the game.
Conclusion
This proves that the age rating of video games is highly subjective. Is SF6 for kids? In many countries, the game is rated by T (Teen), whereas it’s rated by G (General Audiences, All Ages Admitted) in countries like Singapore. It is also true that, while others might consider the game unsafe for their kids, some parents who want to pass on the legacy of Street Fighter will be plugging in controllers and playing alongside their children.
