We read the 123 most recent negative Steam reviews of Street Fighter IV on 30 August 2026 and counted what they mention.

  1. Will not launch or install12 of 123 (10%)

    Can't even start it up as of June 2022.

    Steam review, 6 June 2022 · 28 hours played · 13 readers marked it helpful

    Launcher fails because the game requires the now defunct Games for Windows LIVE :(

    Steam review, 19 March 2017 · 1 hours played · 12 readers marked it helpful
  2. Launchers, accounts and anti-cheat6 of 123 (5%)

    I will no longer buy any Capcom published games as they're adding DRM post purchase.

    Steam review, 27 January 2024 · 12 hours played · 46 readers marked it helpful

    Crapcom Adding DRM to their Games to make them unmodable and RUINING PERFORMANCE is unacceptable.

    Steam review, 18 January 2024 · 13 hours played · 33 readers marked it helpful

A further 7 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
