'Street Fighter 5' beta version for PS4 available for download; see details here [release date, gameplay, tutorial mode, cheats]

Clear your schedules between Dec. 17 and 20 as the third phase of Street Fighter V will be made available again. Get the details on its gameplay, tutorial mode, cheats and more here.

PC Games N says beta versions of the game have been cropping up randomly since October of this year. On YouTube, Vesper Arcade has detailed some of the major changes in the game.

There are conflicting reports on whether PC players will be invited to play during the new beta phase. Testing on several different platforms would provide important information for the game developer before they release the official version on Feb. 16, 2016.

Event Hubs reports that both the PlayStation 4 and Steam received the 2.26 GB update. Labeled as version 1.06, the massive file size indicates that stress tests may be coming soon for both platforms.

However, the PC games publication believes that Capcom may still consider limiting access to the Sony console due to reports of data mining and other issues which cropped up after releasing the last beta version for the PC.

If Capcom does limit access to the new beta phase, PC players need not feel left out as Kotaku recently reported the existence of a cracked version of SF5 beta. The modified offline game offers players access to 12 characters: Ken, Ryu, Nash, Cammy, Necalli, Chun-Li, Birdie, Vega, Rashid, Karin, R. Mika and Bison or Dictator.

Although the direct download link has since been removed from the post, gamers can still watch the video here:

Unlike previous versions of the Capcom game, SF5 comes with a tutorial mode. Game Spot says this new mode includes a narrative which teaches players some of the basic moves and gameplay.

The fighting game site IPlayWinner reports that the upcoming beta phase has been updated to include this tutorial mode, which means gamers will gain access to this new feature beginning Dec. 17.

No details have been confirmed regarding the arcade mode or the game's main storyline.

More details about the beta game are expected to come out this weekend during the PlayStation Experience event. Capcom-Unity recently announced that the two-day event will give players access to SF5, limited edition merchandise, and other games by the developer.

At the Capcom booth, visitors will get to choose from 15 different Street Fighter V characters, including Dhalsim, Rashid, Laura and Karin.

On Sunday, Dec. 6, Capcom will also be holding the Capcom Cup at the Moscone Center. 32 of the best SF4 players from around the world will be playing against each other for a total of $250,000 in prizes.
