Release date, price and preorder details

• Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
• Release date: September 17, 2026
• Price: $49.99 for the Legendary Edition
• Preorders: My Nintendo Store and Nintendo eShop
• Preorder and early-purchase bonus: Sandalphon's Reverent Attire costume

The Reverent Attire bonus is available to players who preorder or purchase the Legendary Edition by January 12, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. The costume can be used in battles and in the game's digital-figure mode, and is planned for separate sale after the early-purchase period. 3

What the $49.99 Legendary Edition includes

The Switch 2 package includes the full base game and all 40 playable characters, including Id and characters previously released as DLC. That means players will not need to buy the character roster separately on Switch 2. 134

The bundle contains:

• Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising base game
• Deluxe Character Pass Part 1, with six Season 1 DLC characters and their premium avatars
• Colors No. 5–8 and weapon skins No. 2–4 for the six Part 1 characters
• Gran and Djeeta's “Guider to the Eternal Edge” costumes
• Vikala's “Yin” premium avatar
• Deluxe Character Pass Part 2, with five Season 2 DLC characters and their premium avatars
• Colors No. 5–8 and weapon skins No. 2–4 for the five Part 2 characters
• The Temple of Canaan stage
• Sandalphon's “Calamity” premium avatar
• The separate Additional Character Set: Id 33241

For players starting from scratch, the main value is the complete playable roster rather than a base game followed by multiple character purchases. Existing players on other platforms should still check exactly which DLC they already own before buying another edition.

Switch 2-exclusive features

The most distinctive Switch 2 addition is Gyro Versus, a mode exclusive to the console's VS Mode. Players can swing a Joy-Con 2 or Joy-Con to perform combo attacks and abilities without relying on traditional button inputs. 34

The Switch 2 version also supports local wireless matches between nearby consoles without an internet connection. Online cross-play covers Ranked Match, Casual Match and Grand Bruise Legends! with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Steam players. 3

What Version 2.60 adds

Version 2.60 launches on September 17 alongside the Switch 2 edition. Its headline additions are:

• Chain Attacks, a new system designed to open additional combo routes
• Super Ultimate+, a battle mode in which characters are dramatically powered up 37

These Version 2.60 additions are not locked to Nintendo hardware. Players who own the Standard or Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 or Steam receive Chain Attacks and Super Ultimate+ through the free update. Id remains a separately purchased character on those platforms, and Gyro Versus is not included outside Switch 2. 3

Other platforms and editions

A Legendary Edition is also planned for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Steam. The supplied announcement does not specify release dates or prices for those versions, so the confirmed $49.99 figure should not automatically be treated as the price across every platform. 3

The existing PlayStation and Steam versions continue to receive Version 2.60 content, while the Switch 2 release brings the complete 40-character package and its platform-specific gyro and local-wireless features. 716

Relink save-data bonuses

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will support save-data linkage with Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok when both games are played on the same platform and both save files are present. The announced rewards include an Id weapon skin and the Lyria “Maiden of Salvation” lobby avatar in GBVSR. 3913

Because save-data bonuses can depend on which game is linked and when the files are detected, players should check the final in-game or official instructions before assuming that every reward is granted in both titles.
