Arc System Works' popular fighter Guilty Gear Strive is coming to Xbox this spring, including day one on Xbox Game Pass! If that sounds like too much of a wait, you can give the game a whirl before launch with the new cross-play beta, which is now live for the coming weekend. Oh, and it's totally free!
Yep, the team has officially launched the game's open beta, which is looking to test out how it will perform across different systems. On the Xbox side of things, Guilty Gear Strive is coming to both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, with the beta available across both generations.
There's quite a lot of content crammed into this open beta as well! Arc System Works has unloaded 22 playable characters onto us, along with access to a bunch of game modes including 'Mission Mode', 'Survival Mode' and more.
You don't need Xbox Live Gold or anything of the sort to jump into this beta either, so yeah, if you even have just a passing interest in this upcoming Xbox Game Pass fighter, the beta test sounds well worth a go! The Guilty Gear Strive beta is live until late on Sunday, February 5th.

Excellent news on a sneak peak and good news they are testing properly before the release. Ive been really looking forward to playing this, It looks gorgeous.
Hi there fellow gamers;
This is great news and pretty cool for every Xbox user.
Guilty Gear Strive is one of the best looking fighting games of all time and has many fans, myself included.
It also has really good gameplay mechanics, crazy characters and combos and it can be very fun in a casual way.
Even though I have this game on my PS5, I´m giving it a try on my Series X this weekend.
Let´s give it a go people.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Something I will say is that I think that Strive's launch of XBOX is a case of Sooner rather than Later, due to the fact they're doing it as an Open Beta Test. If the game was releasing in a few months, they'd be doing at least one CBT, then opening it up when they're close to launch.
Open Beta Tests happen weeks before not months.
Not sure i get the hype around this game/series, seemed like a mid fighting game with anime characters. Also, im REALLY bad so thats probably an it.
Thank goodness. Since putting the PS4 away, I've missed Guilty Gear, so really happy to see I'll finally be able to play it again on my Xbox.
