Capcom looking into solutions for SFxT 2013 on PC with GFWL's pending shutdown


Games For Windows Live will be shutting down in the summer 2014. Since Street Fighter x Tekken 2013 uses the multiplayer service, Capcom is looking for ways to keep the game online for years to come.

The end is near, but it may not be for the PC version of Street Fighter x Tekken 2013.

Games For Windows Live (GFWL) will be ending on July 1, 2014 (via Polygon). The PC version of Street Fighter x Tekken 2013 uses the service for online play. Capcom is aware of the situation and is looking for a solution.

Here's what Capcom's Combofiend had to say regarding the issue (via Capcom Forums).

"We're currently looking into solutions (for GFWL shutdown). When we are 100% sure on what those solutions are, we will advise. Until then, we ask for your patience and do know that you guys haven't been forgotten."
