The beta for "Street Fighter 5" is now back online; however, it is still not widely available. For now, it has only made its return in Europe.
According to Capcom, the decision to return the beta exclusively to Europe for now is part of the company's plan to conduct regional stress tests and see how things go.
Capcom will first see how the stress tests go in Europe. If such go well, Capcom will then move on to the next phase of their regional testing plan and announce upcoming dates for when the beta for "Street Fighter 5" will be made available in North America and then in Asia.
From there, Capcom will again take a look at the results from each of the stress tests and attempt to launch the beta globally once again. Capcom is looking to follow through on their promise to give access to the global beta test for "Street Fighter 5" for five days and that is their intent for now. The company indicated that the regional stress tests will just be bonus time that players will be granted to try out the game.
Capcom is still looking to gain as much relevant information as possible from the stress tests to see how they can ensure that "Street Fighter 5" will provide players with the fun experiences they are looking for from the title.
Capcom has already said that they expect the beta tests to go better this time, although they concede that problems could still pop up for some players.
The latest round of beta testing for "Street Fighter 5" comes nearly a month after it was initially launched, according to Gamespot. Capcom initially had designs on launching the beta last July 23, but problems plagued the testing right from the get go.
Capcom also notes that players who have already downloaded the beta will no longer need to do so again. The only thing they need to do is update it if they have not done so already.
