How to get Rashid in Street Fighter 6 (SF6)?
Well, coming straight to the point, Rashid (DLC character) will be available for players who own the Year 1 Character Pass or the Ultimate Pass in Street Fighter 6 on July 24th. This means that if you have purchased the Year 1 Character/Ultimate Pass or if you own the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of the game, you will automatically have access to Rashid as soon as he is released. However, it is expected that the character will be available for direct purchase as well.
If you just want to try out Rashid before committing, you have the option to play this character for free for one hour using a Rental Fighter ticket. These tickets can be obtained by progressing through the Fighting Pass (Rashid Arrives), which is currently live in Street Fighter 6 and will end on July 23rd. This allows you to test out Rashid’s playstyle and move sets before deciding whether to unlock him permanently.
Now, let us talk about the Fighting Pass. Well, it is like a normal season/battle pass that is prevalent in most online games these days. The items that you can unlock through this Fighting Pass are all linked to Rashid. Stickers, apparel, emotes, etc., all have a theme that resonates with Rashid and his aesthetics. And of course, it is all behind a paywall. Well, technically, you can get the pass for a total of 250 Fighter Coins, but these fighter coins can only be bought with real-world currency. To be precise, $6.99 will get you the 250 Fighter Coins needed for the Fighting Pass (Rashid Arrives).
And that is all the information we have on Rashid, and how to obtain him in Street Fighter 6. We hope this was informative. For more gaming-related news and updates, stay tuned to Digistatement.
