3. Important: Serial Codes
Bonus serial codes for the original Granblue Fantasy mobile game that were included with the main game or downloadable content 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 March 31, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET 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 Granblue Fantasy: Versus, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, is still receiving support with both in-game updates and offline events. We hope that fans of the original Granblue Fantasy: Versus will continue to show their support for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus is available for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.
