Two of Arc System Works’ latest fighting games will appear on Xbox consoles. The Tokyo Game Show 2022 Xbox Stream confirmed that BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and Guilty Gear Strive will be available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X in Spring 2023.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is a crossover fighting game featuring characters from multiple franchises. The game launched with characters from BlazBlue, Under Night In-Birth, Persona 4 Arena, and RWBY. Arc System Works later added new characters from Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura, and Akatsuki Blitzkampf into the roster. Meanwhile, Guilty Gear Strive is the latest entry in the Guilty Gear series that came out first on the PS5, PS4, and PC in June 2021.
However, the stream did not confirm whether the Xbox version of BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle will have a rollback netcode. When the game initially launched for PS4, Switch, and PC in 2018, the netcode that it used was not rollback. While Arc System Works later announced the rollback netcode implementation, only the PS4 and PC versions received it in mid-April 2022.
Both Guilty Gear Strive and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle are currently available on PlayStation 4, PC, and arcades. The latest Guilty Gear title is also available on PlayStation 5, while the BlazBlue crossover game also appears on Nintendo Switch. Arc System Works will release both fighting games for Xbox One and Xbox Series X in Spring 2023.
