The next Capcom Cup will award $1 million to the winner

Capcom has announced that the next Capcom Cup will have a 1st place prize of $1 million.

In a tweet posted on the official Street Fighter Twitter account, it was announced that the next Pro Tour, which consists of numerous qualification events around the world, will culminate in Capcom Cup X, with its large prize.

“Capcom Cup X will be played on Street Fighter 6 with the winner receiving a whopping $1,000,000,” the tweet reads, adding: “Who wants to be a millionaire?”

The prize money was announced during Capcom Cup IX over the weekend, where it was also revealed that the total prize fund will be over $2 million.

The next Capcom Pro Tour and Capcom Cup X will be the first official Capcom tournament to feature Street Fighter 6 as its main game.

Street Fighter 6 will be released on June 2 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and Steam.

One of its more notable new features is World Tour mode, which will let players create their own character, explore a series of open-world areas and learn moves from existing Street Fighter characters.
