There’s a new Guilty Gear Strive patch, and the update adds the much-requested PS4, PS5, and PC cross-play compatibility. In addition to that, the addition also includes some other major features. People can now mute or report players, and there’s a blocking change. Arc System Works explained how both function in the latest patch notes.
With Guilty Gear Strive cross-play, people on a PS4, PS5, or PC can play together if they turn the option on. Rank Tower and Open Park will support it. People can also select cross-play when creating or searching for a Player Match. When you go into Combo Maker, Digital Figure, Ranking, and Replay, you can also see cross-platform results if you want. If someone isn’t interested, they should go into System Settings after downloading the update. It starts off as on.
As for the mute and report options, after the Guilty Gear Strive patch is applied you can find it in an R-Code. Muting is a temporary action that is undone after the game is closed. It will show their ID or “GG Player” as a name, you won’t see them in chat bubbles, and you won’t be able to see their Digital Figure or Replays. The blocking update also keeps those things from being seen, but is a permanent action. With the report option, Arc System Works will look at that player’s actions and could suspend them.
Guilty Gear Strive is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, as is the new patch Ver. 1.24. Sin Kiske is coming as DLC.
