Capcom confirm date for Street Fighter IV Championship Mode Patch

Capcom have given us some solid details as well as a release date for the upcoming and free Championship Mode patch for Street Fighter IV on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

As confirmed on the Capcom Unity Blog, the patch will be released as a free download on Friday April 24th for both Xbox 360 and PS3 owners. Players will now be able to compete in tournaments and watch specially selected replays of the best matches.

The official press release reads: Championship Mode offers you the chance to compete in 5 different grades of tournaments, creating the right challenge for players of every skill level. You’ll score Grade Points (GP) for tournament wins, and as your GP total grows, you’ll become eligible to enter into more exclusive tournaments. Winning tournaments will also net you Championship Points (CP). CP are like “prize money” up for grabs in the tournament. The higher the GP skill of the players in a particular tournament, the bigger the CP prize!
