Guilty Gear -Strive- 2.0 Update Release Date
The 2.0 update is slated for release on April 9. However, it has been confirmed that the Nintendo Switch version will not receive this update. This decision has raised concerns among fans, especially considering the game was made available on the Switch in January 2025.

According to Arc System Works, the 2.0 update will only be accessible on the following platforms:
- PlayStation®4
- PlayStation®5
- Steam
