Back in September, Arc System Works shared a “first in-game look” at Guilty Gear Strive’s next DLC fighter Queen Dizzy.
This fighter will be added to the Switch version of the game as part of a “free content” update. Arc System Works confirmed this on social media alongside the news this update is scheduled to arrive on February 2025.
Guilty Gear Strive will launch on the Nintendo Switch on 23rd January 2025. Dizzy is part of Season 4 and will eventually be joined by Venom (no, not the Marvel one) in “early 2025”, Unika in “Spring 2025” and the guest character Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners in “Summer 2025”.
The development team has also confirmed the Switch version will include rollback netcode, but it won’t support crossplay on the hybrid Nintendo platform.
Will you be grabbing this game when it arrives on Switch next month? Let us know in the comments.

That's really good.
Let's gooo!!!
That's nice of Arc, i guess. The Switch is the closest we'll probably ever get to a "complete on disk" Super Guilty Gear 4 release, and Queen Dizzy was the only character from this season i had any interest in (never liked Venom, need to see the show to have an opinion on the OC, and I hate CDProjekt) so this SHOULD be a free win for me.
But I going back and asking myself "why is this a Switch release at all? We KNOW Arc had seen the Super Switch at this point; they're a full blown AAA Daimo now with first party dev contracts. So why not wait? To get Season Pass sales anyway? To test their abilities?
She’s an awesome character so this is great! I already have this Switch version preordered despite owning it on PC and PS4. At 700 hours played I’m still getting a bargain after triple dipping!
Really awesome to see ArcSys giving her for free on Switch. Makes it a really cool bonus for those that buy the Switch version even to just lab on the go. I wonder how they will handle the rest of season 4 though since they are probably will be launching day and date on Switch there, so I wonder if ArcSys will keep giving them for free on Switch, or if they will have the rest of Season 4 be paid
@Zeebor15 if it's anything like Bamco with Ace Combat 7 they probably started the development of this version way before they even knew about the existence of Switch 2
Will there be a physical release?
I really thought, based on the thumbnail, that was Chun Li. Maybe my glasses need an eye exam, too.
@mickholohan In the U.S., there is. I'm not sure about Europe.
@nilcam
Ah thank you. Fingers crossed for a EU release!
Why does Arc site have them more expensive for stuff we have no ideas what they are or are worth getting?
@mickholohan Yes, although currently the only way to get it to my knowledge is direct from the Arc Store, at least in North America. I do not know if Namco plans on doing a PEGI version. The Arc Store pre-order comes with a "Mystery Merch Item worth $30" at no extra cost, but that's propably just a loot crate of unsold Bridget merchandise.
Dear GOD there is too much Bridget merch.
Wow, free on the Switch version? The others must hate us for that.
@Zeebor15 thank u
