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 any bundled content, such as a Versus Stage, Songs, and Spirits)
  • Month 2: DLC Assist Fighter (with any bundled content, such as Music)
  • Month 3: Misc DLC (Character Colors, Character Alternate Outfits, Mii Fighter Costumes, Spirits, Songs, Online Nameplates and Profile Images, etc)

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.
