Arc System Works has announced Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is adding rollback netcode to PC this month.
The previously announced network functionality is launching on January 20th for its PC / Steam version.
For those who aren’t familiar, rollback netcode simulates what a remote, online player might do next. If the player’s actual action is correct, the game progresses smoothly – if the prediction is incorrect, gameplay will shift to the correct state of player input. This can be dialed down to the frame by frame level, so gameplay will still feel responsive and smooth.
Here’s a rundown on the base game:
