Since its release on February 6, 2020, we have been truly grateful to everyone who has enjoyed playing Granblue Fantasy: Versus (GBVS) online. We deeply appreciate your support and enthusiasm over the years.

We’d like to let you know that beginning April 20, 2026 (PT), we will be scaling back online features. As a result, the game will enter a state similar to when it is undergoing online maintenance: features such as ranked matches, the online lobby, and accessing serial codes will be unavailable, while other online features will still be available in a limited capacity. Details of this downscaling are as follows.

Server Downscaling Date and Time
6-9 p.m., April 20, 2026 (PT)

1. Features Still Available After Server Downscaling
The following game modes and features will continue to be accessible either fully or in a partial state:

Journal:
・Gallery
・Glossary

Game modes:
・RPG mode (solo play)
・RPG mode (online backup request)
・Versus mode
・Arcade mode
・Training mode
・Mission training
・Room matches

Creating and searching for rooms and matching up with other players offline is still possible without the following features:

3. IMPORTANT: Serial Codes for the PlayStation®4 Version
Bonus serial codes for the original Granblue Fantasy mobile game that were included with the main game or DLC can no longer be accessed by going to Serial Codes in the menu, as the menu option will be removed after the server downscaling date. Players are strongly encouraged to screenshot or write down their serial codes prior to the server downsizing date on 6 p.m., April 20, 2026 (PT) if they have not redeemed them in the original Granblue Fantasy mobile game yet. Serial codes can continue to be redeemed after the server downsizing date.

4. Trophies
The following trophies can no longer be unlocked due to being unable to meet their completion requirements. Players hoping to complete every trophy should do so prior to the server downscaling date.

Unavailable Trophies:
・Now the Real Fight Begins!: Due to being unable to complete tutorial matches.
・Hot Enough for You?: Due to online battle results no longer being recorded.
・Platinum Sky: Due to being unable to complete all trophies (unless the above two trophies have already been unlocked).

Trophies that have already been unlocked will not disappear.

5. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
The sequel to GBVS, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising (GBVSR), is still receiving support with both in-game updates and offline events. We hope that fans of the original GBVS will continue to show their support for GBVSR. Please follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @gbvs_official for the latest news.

Thank you,
The Granblue Fantasy Versus Team
