Sony and Capcom co-developed Street Fighter 5 based on a mutual vision of expanding the fighting game audience. More over, Sony’s funding ensured Street Fighter 5 would remain on Sony PlayStation home consoles.
Meaning, Street Fighter 5 is not on Microsoft Xbox or Nintendo Switch home consoles for the foreseeable future, at least in a stand-alone manner.
Perhaps Cacpom will release an updated Street Fighter collection years from now that includes all Street Fighter games, but Nintendo fans who want to play Street Fighter 5 will have to buy a PlayStation console or Windows PC for now.

This Street Fighter compilation title is the best value for your money if you can only buy one Street Fighter game for Nintendo Switch.
The other Street Fighter game on the Nintendo Switch is Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers.
Ultra Street Fighter 2 is definitely a great package, being the ultimate form of Street Fighter 2 with redrawn high definition and widescreen visuals, an enhanced soundtrack, and three new playable characters. A 3D first person horde mode featuring Ryu is also included to round out the package.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Edition is the best Street Fighter game on Nintendo Switch
However, Ultra Street Fighter 2 contains only one game with the primary reasons for getting it being the exclusive redrawn visuals and added characters.
