Arc System Works has confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Switch port of Guilty Gear Strive will have no crossplay support. 2021's Guilty Gear Strive is one of Arc System Works' most popular fighting games, and it is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. This version of the game was announced at PAX West, and the developer confirmed it will be launching on January 23, 2025.
Guilty Gear Strive was originally released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Many Strive players have praised the game for its unique soundtrack, graphics, and lineup of characters that feature both fan-favorite veterans and several newcomers. Arc System Works is currently working on the fourth season of DLC for Guilty Gear Strive, which includes returning characters like Queen Dizzy and Venom. While the Switch version of Strive is set to offer almost everything that the other versions of the game had, such as the base game's roster and the first three seasons of DLC, the one limitation it will have is no crossplay support.
Now that classic fighting game series Guilty Gear is officially getting an anime, other franchises with a similar sense of style could follow...
