** ''-STRIVE-'' proved to be a huge one for the series in general, no doubt in part due to Arc System Works' newfound spotlight after the success of ''[=FighterZ=]'', and aided further by a change in direction to make the game more welcoming to new players while still keeping with the spirit of Guilty Gear. When it was released on Steam, it quickly jumped to the 3rd highest peak player count of ''any'' fighting game on the platform, only beaten out by ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' and the aforementioned ''[=FighterZ=]''.
