Guilty Gear Strive Online Modes
Online Lobby
Thanks to the blessing that is rollback netcode, players will be able to enjoy matches against other players all over the world. There’s even some neat crossplay between the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of Guilty Gear Strive. With the Online Lobby, players will be able to interact with other players using customizable 3D avatars.
The game’s Online Lobby assigns you to a floor depending on your skill level. Skill level is determined not only by the outcome of your battles. However, it’s also determined by the analysis of your actions during matches. Because players at the same skill level naturally gather on the same floor, everyone from new players to veterans can enjoy tense battles! There’s a special place in Heaven for you if you manage to be the top of the top brass, of course!
Player Match
Enjoy online battles with up to 9 friends in a single room. Rooms will offer a myriad of customization options to fine-tune the player experience. Additionally, you can use Replay Theater to re-live those intense battles you had with your friends. You can search replays and filter them by character or Skill level. Perfect for refining your gameplay for the next battle!
