Capcom has just released the latest costume pack for their most recent fighting game, and fans are not happy with it. The new Street Fighter 6 costumes in Outfit 3 contain 18 new outfits for the game’s roster, and the cost to grab every single one might come as a bit of a shock.
Each of the game’s new outfits is on sale for 300 Fighter Coins, which is Street Fighter’s in-game currency. There’s no way to obtain these skins other than outright paying for them, and they’re not available as a bundle. That means that in order to get every single skin, you would have to spend 5,400 FCs.
The next step is figuring out how much Fighter Coins cost in real-world currency. As it turns out, you can buy them in packs of 250 (£3.99/$4.99), 610 (£9.49/$11.99), 1250 (£18.99/$23.99), or 2750 (£39.99/$49.99). What this means is that in order to buy just one skin, you need to spend at least £8/$10, which would also leave you with 200 FCs to spare. This isn’t enough to afford a second skin.
Adding it all up, then, it would cost at least £80/$100 to get every single skin. That’s more expensive than the game itself, or even the game’s Deluxe Edition, which includes the Year 1 Character Pass. This price is obviously exorbitant, and fans have taken to Reddit threads and tweets to share their frustration with these prices:

We were this close to Capgod (assuming we weren't there already which we kinda were), but Capcom had to muck it all up with the Outfit 3 Prices for Street Fighter 6. We can't have nice things can we? or at least have them reasonably priced and/or in a bundle pic.twitter.com/DrRQWurscW

Needless to say, this seems like a pretty scummy move from Capcom. They’ve been making all the right moves so far with Street Fighter 6, so it’s surprising to see them fumble here. These skins should at least be available in a single-priced bundle, if nothing else. We hope that Capcom makes adjustments soon.

I agree the costumes should be available in a bundle and not sold as separate stand alone dlc. All Street Fighter 6 costumes cost $99.98 is ridiculous.
