(Press Release)

Sagat takes control as he joins the Street Fighter™ 6 roster today, 5th August 2025, across Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam! As the final boss in the original Street Fighter™ game, veterans and newcomers will be eager to reign supreme as the fearsome Sagat in Street Fighter 6. Sagat’s moveset is inspired by Muay Thai, a martial art and combat sport originating from Thailand, combined with uppercuts, knees, and an added twist… fireballs! Under Sagat’s rule, a new stage called Proud Spire will be released as well, featuring a calming temple and a peaceful Buddha statue in the background.

Sagat’s regalia includes two Outfits – Outfit 1 is a newer look featuring a darker Muay Thai-inspired theme, while Outfit 2 is an ode to his Street Fighter II appearance, where he dons Muay Thai shorts, plus hand and foot wraps, which is common for many Muay Thai practitioners. Outfit 2 can be earned in World Tour by maxing out your bond with Sagat or purchased via Fighter Coins.

Sagat’s Muay Thai moveset focuses on crushing, hard-hitting blows courtesy of his big frame that also gives him solid kicks with notable physical range, including:

  • High Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward to hit standing opponents, with the blast fired at different speeds depending on the button being pressed
  • Low Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward that can hit crouching opponents. Use both fireballs to keep opponents guessing!
  • Tiger Uppercut: A powerful anti-air attack, which the heavy version can be held down to send opponents flying
  • Tiger Knee Crush: Leap forward and catch opponents off guard with a powerful knee attack
  • Tiger Nexus: A brand new special move where Sagat strikes with his knee and can then be followed up with three different kicks – Mighty Tiger, Greedy Tiger, or Nova Tiger
  • Tiger Cannon: Sagat’s Level 1 Super Art, where he fires a mighty Tiger Shot
  • Savage Tiger: Sagat’s Level 2 Super Art, where, after Sagat leaps forward, this Super Art can be followed up with four moves.
    • Savage Tiger Raid: The highest damage of all the options
    • Savage Tiger Zenith: Launches the opponent in the air and can be followed up with more attacks
    • Savage Tiger Pendulum: Allows Sagat to switch places with his opponent
    • Savage Tiger Stomp: Leaves Sagat close to the enemy, allowing for better “oki”
  • Tiger Vanquisher: Sagat’s Level 3 Super Art unleashes all of his power in a series of devastating kicks and a beastly uppercut

Year 3 Ultimate Pass and Year 3 Character Pass – both of which will unlock Sagat, the three remaining Year 3 characters, including C. Viper, pro wrestler Alex (Early Spring 2026), and the energetic Ingrid (Late Spring 2026), plus new Outfit colors and Drive Tickets – are available now for purchase across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Content included in the pass will unlock today, 5th August, along with the release of Sagat.
