Street Fighter 6 (SF6) rewards players with awesome Alex-themed items right ahead of the character joining the roster. What are the best items to unlock?

Alex brings a gritty, rough-and-tumble wrestler energy to Street Fighter 6, and these vibes find positive response in the hearts of many players. Also, other SF6 characters wouldn’t mind embracing the power of grabs — and even some hilarious taunts over their opponents.

Proper preparation for Alex’s arrival is possible with the newest Fighting Pass.

When is the Alex Arrives Fighting Pass available in SF6?

The Alex-themed Fighting Pass season in Street Fighter 6 runs from March 3 to April 7.

To activate the Premium tiers, you’ll need to pay 250 Fighting Coins. You’ll likely have enough if you’ve completed previous SF6 Fighting Pass seasons, as the game rewards the full amount after unlocking all the tiers.
