This second global beta comes with a bevy of features as well, allowing you to play ranked matches, access leaderboards, search for other players, and unlockable items through the use of Fight Money. This is a beta so expect everything to be wiped.
For the PC users the minimum recommended PC specs are as follows:
Street Fighter V supports Steamworks as well.
Recommended: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor
Minimum: Intel Core i3-4160 @ 3. 60GHz Recommended: Intel Core i5-4690K @3. 50GHz
Memory
Minimum: 6 GB DDR3 Recommended: 8 GB DDR3

Broadband Connection Required
DirectX Version
Minimum: DirectX 11 Recommended: DirectX 11
Sound Card
Minimum: DirectX compatible soundcard or onboard chipset
While PC users will be upset that Street Fighter V is not optimized for Windows 8 or the more popular Windows 10, Capcom as plenty of time to get that squared away closer to launch which is scheduled for a March 2016 release.
The PC beta build is available to pre-load on Steam. PC players will need at least 2GB to download the bet client.
This second beta will put the Capcom servers under the most stress seen since it will have to support both PS4 and PC users simultaneously. This brings up concerns since the last one had to be shut down by Capcom due to the pressure on Capcom’s servers. Ultimately two worlds will collide on October 24th that has been a dream to gamers since the rivalry between consoles and PC started.
