DLC Schedule
DLC releases for Smash 6 begin ~90 days after the launch of the game. Each quarter (3 months) has the following set DLC cycle:
- Month 1: DLC Playable Fighter (with a bundled Versus Stage, Songs, and Spirits)
- Month 2: DLC Assist Fighter (with any bundled content Songs and Spirits)
- Month 3: DLC Mii Fighter Costumes (with any bundled Songs and Spirits)
Whenever a DLC Playable Fighter is released, that Fighter has strike-immunity in Ranked 1v1 until the next game update. That fighter is also given a ratio point value of 3 until the start of the next ranking season.
Notes
This is a consistent schedule that keeps the game hyped for several years post-launch.
