It also added further refinements to the previous game's play mechanics and rules. The game was well received in all of its versions and has since been regarded as one of the greatest fighting games of all time. On 29 May 2018, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future was released as a part of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One.
