Apex Legends x Street Fighter 6 Crossover Hits September 22

Ever wondered what happens when a battle royale throws down with a fighting game? Apex Legends and Street Fighter 6 are about to answer that question.

The two games are crossing over for a special event running from Tuesday, September 22nd to Tuesday, October 13th. That gives you three full weeks to check out everything it has to offer.

So what's actually in the crossover? For starters, there's a new version of an existing mode. The source doesn't specify which mode, but it's a fresh twist that should feel different from your usual Apex matches. On top of that, you can expect a batch of cosmetics inspired by Street Fighter 6.

It's a pairing that makes sense on paper. Apex has always leaned into its roster of larger-than-life characters, and Street Fighter 6 is all about iconic fighters. Seeing those worlds collide could be a blast, whether you're a longtime Apex player or someone who spends more time in the lab practicing combos.

Of course, crossovers like this are nothing new for Apex. The game has hosted plenty of events with other franchises, and they usually bring limited-time modes, skins, and other goodies. This one just happens to tap into Capcom's fighting game universe, which could pull in a different crowd.

The big question is whether fighting game fans will vibe with the battle royale format, and vice versa. It's a fun experiment either way. If you've been looking for a reason to jump back into Apex, this might be it.

Mark your calendar for September 22nd. The event wraps up on October 13th, so you'll have plenty of time to unlock whatever cosmetics catch your eye.
