Publisher Cygames and developer Arc System Works have delayed the Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising online beta test from its previously planned May release to an unannounced date.
“The game is currently experiencing stability issues during online play,” creative director Tetsuya Fukuhara said in a message. “While we realize that some bumpiness is to be expected during beta testing, we would still like to put our best foot forward and ensure we deliver as enjoyable an experience as possible.”
A new date will be announced “as soon as things have settled,” Fukuhara said.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is due out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in 2023. Read more about the game here, here, and here.

Online Beta Schedule Change
We are sorry to announce that the Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising online beta has been delayed from its previously scheduled May release.
The game is currently experiencing stability issues during online play. While we realize that some bumpiness is to be expected during beta testing, we would still like to put our best foot forward and ensure we deliver as enjoyable an experience as possible.
We will announce a new date as soon as things have settled. To everyone who has been looking forward to the Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising experience, you have our sincerest apologies.
In order to test our recent implementation of rollback netcode, we will be launching a closed pre-access beta, followed shortly by an open beta. For those who would like to participate in the pre-access beta, registration will open when we announce the updated schedule.
Thank you for your patience.
—Creative Director Tetsuya Fukuhara
