Hey crew! Gio Corsi here, Director of Third Party Production, and I wanted to give you all a quick “great news” update on Ultra Street Fighter IV PS4 with less than a week before its digital launch on May 26th!

The big update: Ultra Street Fighter IV will support PS4 FightSticks, of course. But we’ve also included Lab Zero’s drivers so that USFIV will support licensed PS3 FightSticks as well. For more details on how this will work, please check the Capcom Unity or Lab Zero sites after the game launches on May 26.

Other reminders:

  • Ultra SFIV on PS4 will be running at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second for all your fighting glory.
  • The PS4 version of USFIV will also include all DLC launched up to this point, including the most recent Vacation and Wild costume packs.
  • A few of you hardcore Street Fighters out there said that there was minor input lag in the controls of Ultra Street Fighter IV for PS3. Well, don’t worry: We’ve eliminated it to make the PS4 edition the ultimate version on any platform!
  • The price is $24.99.

We’ll see you online next week! In the meantime, check out Capcom’s brand-spanking-new trailer above celebrating the upcoming launch of Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4. Enjoy!

  • Very cool. Good prep for SFV, too. Gio, will we get to see you on the E3 stage this year?

    [ Dxe’p jnzfnsn Tnkgh’v zfnv. ]

  • Thanks for doing this Gio. Hope to see you on stage at E3 announcing more Third Party Relations games =)

  • This is comically ridiculous. How many prefixes and re-releases are we going to have for the same game and call it something “new” every time? Stop screwing around with Street Fighter IV. Get over it. Move on.

    • I don;t think anyone HAS called it new?

      Alot of people HAVE moved on… to another console and would still liek to retain their skills.
      Everyone plays fighting games differently. Perhaps you haven’t noticed but fighting games are now a sport where people like to hone their skills while staying social with like minded gamers.

  • I’d rather have Street Fighter 3 on PS4.

  • Video doesn’t work…

  • This is great prep for SF V and at a good price. I’ll pick it up.

  • The video is set to private, sillies.

  • Cant wait to get rekt online.

  • I’m looking forward to this but wish I could pre-order this, and hope ALL the online issues have been fixed.

  • i would rather have Street Fighter 2 or 3 on PS4. i played Ultra Street Fighter 5 on PS Now and the game is awful. at the very least i’ll wait until the PS4 version goes free on PS Plus.

  • can we please get a PS4 theme for Street Fighter 4/5 please! @Gio lol

  • Also it sucks this wasn’t up for pre-order! we needed this for preloading!!!

  • PS3 stick support makes this a day one buy :) thank you Capcom

  • What’s with the “all the DLC released up to this point” crap? Retire this game, Capcom. Geez. That makes me less likely to buy this game since you have more DLC, which has so far been absurdly overpriced, waiting to be released.

  • this is great news. thanks for listening to us and doing the right thing with using Lab Zero drivers. keep doing things like this instead of going for quick cash or marketing agreements and you’ll win this generation handily.

  • This is really tempting… it will be the something like the 10th iteration/version of the game I will have purchased.

  • Hopefully they give us a retail release for those of us who still prefer games in our display collections.Come on Sony dont let us down.

  • I’m really looking forward to this. I always loved Street fighter, bought every version and i’m not going to stop now. I fight in local tournaments so it’s good to keep the fighting games fresh and this ps4 version will be awesome. woooo

    @14 and no one was forcing you to buy the DLC, this time you get all the DLC for one price including the game. That in my book is a Great Value.

  • @MisterAxle This port isn’t targeted towards casual fighting game players. The competitive community is still alive and it’s actually getting bigger. As of now the Xbox 360 version is the tournament standard for USF4, but since Sony and Capcom are partnering for SFV they’re changing this to the Ps4 version. All SFV tournaments are going to run on Ps4, and they’re making the switch now so all the players can start buying a Ps4, and a fightstick/pad to prepare for it’s release.

  • @18 No, just no.

  • Finally!!! I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve bought my PS4: day-1 buy! I don’t get the complains: if you don’t want, don’t buy it. I had it for PS3, my only console now is the PS4 (and I think many people are in the same situation).

  • @14 What are you talking about? There is no more DLC coming, they’re giving you all the DLC that’s been released with the full game.

  • Sad to see so many people *****ing here, if you don’t want USF4 just don’t buy it!! Problem solved!

  • PS3 Arcade Stick support?

  • NM I’m sorry I missed this. Should bullet point this with the enhancements. It’s an important feature and I consider it an enhancement for any PS4 fighting game I get (also a deciding factor to buy it).

    ” But we’ve also included Lab Zero’s drivers so that USFIV will support licensed PS3 FightSticks as well.”

  • Idk if I’ll buy it the third time, nothing really major or different

  • Fantastic work with the stick support team and port in general (hopefully I won’t be disappointed), I play with the controller but this is great news for others nonetheless. I second #11 and 12’s comments. It would’ve been a lot better if we had the option to pre-load the game so I can play it when I get home instead of waiting for a surely long download. I also wouldn’t mind a USF4 Poison team or SFV team. c:

  • theme* not team

  • rafael_martines

    SONY plz Help Namco to bring Tekken Tag 2 to PS4 too… plz plz plz

  • This will have enhanced DLC, isn’t it?

  • @22, I specifically quoted the wording. Or look at the asterisk at 33 seconds in the video above.

  • Add me to those asking for Street Fighter 2 and SF3: Third Strike. Capcom is rereleasing those games and Darkstalkers 3 and SF Alpha 2 to Taito Nesica arcades in Japan so it’d be easy to do. The version of SF2 they’re rereleasing is really cool because it’s the anniversary edition that has every edition of SF2 included that had ever been made. Please look into this. PS4 will be the definitive console for fighting games this gen so please bring these classic games here.

  • Great to know that I can continue to use my Street Fighter X Sanrio fightstick on the PS4! LOL I’ll be honest, I wasn’t crazy about Street Fighter IV (have always been a hardcore SF3 fanboy) but I think having the game in all its glory on the PS4 may change my feelings towards it.

    Now how about porting SF3 or Ultra SF4 to the Vita, Capcom? We’d all love you for it!

  • Is there going to be a sale on plus in the first week.

  • Hmph Ok thats one reason to get Ultra Street fighter IV anything else coming along with the fighting Game ??

  • @31 Yea but It seems that you misunderstood the the quote. Feel free to correct me if i’m wrong but I’m assuming you thought there would be more DLCs coming after the game is launch but that’s not the case.

  • Will we be able to transfer ANY of our progress to the PS4 version if we’re coming from PS3?
    Save Data?
    Trophies?
    Network rank?
    Replays?

  • Y U No Marvel vs. Capcom 4?

  • Hi Gio, any news on PS Vita games?

    Do you think that with your current relationship with Capcom it could be possible to also port the first Resident Evil Revelations (preferably the HD console version) to the PS Vita? At the time it was the only console handheld that didn’t get the game (it was released on PS3, 360, Wii U and 3DS).

    Also, could you please also check with Capcom what happened to their attempts to get Breath of Fire 3 and Mega Man Powered Up on the NA PSN?

    Finally, have there been any talks with Inti Creates in regards to bringing Azure Striker Gunvolt to PS Vita (and perhaps to PS3 and PS4 as well)?

  • Are my eyes deceiving me?? I have to ask now because someone came at me on twitter when I stated that the price is $24.99. Is this the actual price of the game or something else?

  • I can use my PS3 Fightstick? $24.99? Ok, I’m in on day one now. Thanks!

  • Great job on including the Lab Zero drivers.

  • The PS3 Madcatz Fight Pad will work?

  • Great news! This sold the game for me!

    But please don’t make the same mistake NRS did requiring two DS4 controllers because of profile settings.

  • @38 Monterossa

    You can thank Disney for that.

    While ANY progress transfer over from the PS3 version to the PS4 version?

  • Will it have an option to turn off the in game commentary but keep the announcer on? Also will the new version to have story mode?

  • Can we start pre-order the game??

  • I’d always hoped for Street Fighter IV to come to Vita since Street Fighter x Tekken turned out so amazing on it.

  • What about x arcade dual stick? I have the USB version which used to support PS3 until a firmware update.

    I know they sell a separate 2 in 1 PS3 / original Xbox adaptor but I already own the original xbox adaptor which allowed PS3 support through USB of the x arcade stick. They are working to sell a dedicated PS4 adaptor too. I just don’t want to buy something that will be obsolete again. Having both PS3 PS4 support would be cool in an all in one.

    Thanks for the heads up on the fighting sticks.

  • Is this being released digitally only or will there be a retail release too?
