Arc System Works has brought fans a Christmas gift this week in the form of an announcement regarding some upcoming free content.
Queen Dizzy is Guilty Gear Strive’s latest paid DLC character on other platforms, but Nintendo Switch players will be getting access to her, free of charge, early next year.
Strive is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch on January 23, 2025, and pre-orders are available now. Arc System Works took to Twitter yesterday to announce that the game’s latest DLC character — who is paid content on its current platforms and released back in October — will be released as a free update sometime in February 2025 on the Nintendo Switch.
“Queen Dizzy confirmed as a free update content in February 2025!” wrote the official Arc System Works America Twitter account. “Queen Dizzy will be updated as a free content for #GGST Nintendo Switch Edition!
“This free content is scheduled to be released in February 2025! Preorder now!” the tweet concluded.

It does not appear that Arc System Works provided a reason why they’re aiming to give Strive’s latest DLC character to fans for free, but it’s likely that doing so will give players more incentive to pick up the game on the Switch console. It’s also worth pointing out that Dizzy will be about 4 months old by the time she comes to the Switch.
Queen Dizzy is the first DLC character in Guilty Gear Strive’s Season 4 of content. She will be followed by returning fighter Venom (expected to release early 2025), as well as newcomers Unika (Spring 2025) and Lucy (Summer 2025) — with Lucy hailing from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series.
