Guilty Gear Strive officially surpasses 3 million copies sold

First released back in 2021 for PlayStation and PC, Guilty Gear Strive is the latest entry in the long-running and much loved 2.5D fighting series from Arc System Works. In the years since, the game has found its way to additional platforms – with Xbox players receiving Strive in 2023 – and now the Switch. In alignment with this latest launch, Arc System Works have shared updated sales figures for Guilty Gear Strive.

As part of the Guilty Gear Strive Nintendo Switch launch trailer, the team at Arc System works revealed that the fighting game had reached a new milestone of over 3 million copies sold.

For context, while the team did previously share the news that Strive had surpassed 3 million players, its addition to Game Pass meant that concrete unit sales could not be determined at the time.

That said, the explicit use of the term ‘selling 3 million copies’ removes any ambiguity, and means that Strive has officially sold 3x more units than any other entry in the Guilty Gear series.

With Strive now available on Switch – and the likes of Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners set to join the roster later this year – it seems as though the game still has plenty more runway to reach even higher heights.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
