Guilty Gear Strive Nintendo Switch Edition announced for January 2025

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the news about Guilty Gear Strive coming to Nintendo Switch has sent a wave of excitement through the gaming community. Having played the game on various platforms, I must admit that the prospect of taking it on-the-go is an enticing one.


Arc System Works has confirmed that Guilty Gear Strive will be available for Nintendo Switch users starting January 2025. Earlier, a premature unveiling was narrowly avoided when an event banner from PAX West remained unnoticed over the weekend. However, today’s official announcement provided comprehensive details on the game, such as its complete character roster, online multiplayer, and additional game modes that will be present at launch, with more to come as free updates later on.

In a fresh trailer reveal, Arc System Works unveiled that Guilty Gear Strive is coming to the Nintendo Switch, set to debut on January 23, 2025. The launch will feature every character released for Guilty Gear Strive up until Season 3’s Slayer, encompassing the original roster and downloadable characters. Additionally, the game will provide post-release content such as unlockable music for past DLC characters, an additional story mode, Figure Mode, and other exciting extras.

It’s been verified that the game can be played online using rollback netcode. However, Ken Miyauchi, the lead producer of Guilty Gear Strive, mentioned separately that the Nintendo Switch version will not support crossplay with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions of the game. This decision seems to maintain a stable online gaming environment for Guilty Gear Strive. But it’s plausible that in future updates or perhaps on the successor to the Nintendo Switch, crossplay might be introduced.

Regardless, the arrival of Guilty Gear Strive on Nintendo Switch in January offers gamers additional methods to enjoy the title. In anticipation of future updates, keep an eye out for more Guilty Gear updates right here on Shacknews.
