Arc System Works and Cygames announced that it will start to sunset the original Granblue Fantasy Versus fighting game by ending elements like Ranked Matches and Online Lobby. There will still be time to take part in those sorts of online matches, as the official Server Downscaling won’t happen until 6pm PT/9pm ET on April 20, 2026. However, the warning is out now to alert us features and trophies that will be inaccessible for folks who own that title after that time. The sequel Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will still be supported and updated.
Basically, some of the online elements are being pulled as a result of the server downscaling. This means that Casual Match will be available and replace Ranked Match, and the online lobby and rankings tied to the Ranked Matches feature will be gone in Granblue Fantasy Versus. Likewise, the player profile tied to that won’t be able to be edited, you won’t be able to upload or download fight replays in the journal, there will be no announcements shown, and serial codes stop working. As a result, the two trophies “Now the Real Fight Begins” and “Hot Enough for You” won’t be able to be earned and the Platinum will be inaccessible.
Arc System Works and Cygames did note that all the following modes will still be accessible in the game:
- Arcade Mode
- Customize (Options)
- Journal (Gallery and Glossary)
- Mission Training
- Room Matches
- RPG Mode (Solo and Online Backup Request)
- Training Mode
- Versus Mode
The original Granblue Fantasy Versus is available for the PS4 and PC, and the sequel Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is on the PS4, PS5, and PC.
