Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 finally gets a rollback netcode after six years

Over six years after its release, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is finally getting a rollback netcode on Steam.

The Arc System Works 2D fighter feature first entered public beta testing in October 2022 and lasted a few weeks. It obviously went well, as it will officially rolled out in the game (opens in new tab) on January 20, bringing it in line with its newer sibling Guilty Gear Strive. It makes for a much smoother experience online, bringing it a little closer to what offline play feels like. It can be one of the biggest make-or-break features for a fighting game: bad netcode can kill a game’s community faster than anything else. Just ask the other three SoulCalibur 6 players. (Just kidding!)
