Capcom has announced that it would be launching an open beta for its "Street Fighter V" Capcom Fighters Network online. The launch is being carried out for Capcom to test the improvements they have made to their service.
According to Click Lancashire, the Japanese video game, "Street Fighter V," would have its free trial period starting March 28 at 1 p.m. on Windows PC up until April 3 at 12 p.m. With these changes, some believe that the modified update would go beyond the expectations of every user. As a matter of fact, sources have noted that the update would try to reduce the time to find an online match. Not to mention, it would also decrease the loading time for the Ranked and Casual matches.
After the game's free week on PC, Capcom will evaluate the performance and make improvements before the game is finally released for PC and PlayStation 4 users. Sources also explained that the update would be a distinct client from the main title; this would make no difference in your current ranking. Moreover, PC players would also get a chance to test out new functionalities and infrastructure. However, the creators have explained that once the trial is already done, replays and character process would immediately be removed.
"The improved CFN experience is the result of rebuilding it from the ground up to address the most pressing issues that will ultimately result in a better online experience," Capcom stated, according to GameSpot. "The new CFN server updates mark a new beginning for playing SF5 online and we encourage our players to participate in the PC Beta Test to see what improvements we have in store."
There are speculations that all "Street Fighter V" characters will be unlocked in this new CFN beta online.
