In its October 27, 2026 notice, Capcom said content requiring an internet connection was unavailable in Street Fighter V on PlayStation 4 and Steam, while offline content remained playable. The notice linked emergency maintenance to security work involving PHP, the programming language used in those versions.
What Capcom said about online and offline play
The distinction was straightforward for players: content that required online functionality was unavailable under the notice, but Capcom said offline content could still be played. Its official Street Fighter account published the dated update.
What the planned sales pause covered
Capcom said sales on the PlayStation Store and Steam would be suspended in stages until the maintenance fix was complete. The company tied that plan to completing the fix, rather than to a calendar date.
