What are some Japanese sale prices?
The following are examples from the publisher’s Japanese announcement. Prices are in yen and apply only to the stated platform listing; they should not be treated as prices for other countries or currencies.

| GUILTY GEAR XX ACCENT CORE PLUS R | Nintendo Switch | ¥1,507 | 75% | ¥376 |
These are named offers reported by Arc System Works, not an independent comparison of prices across storefronts. A larger discount percentage alone does not show which offer is the best value: the edition, platform, region and displayed checkout price all matter. Arc System Works’ Japanese announcement
Do these prices apply outside Japan?
No. The figures above are explicitly Japanese yen offers and should not be generalized to other territories. Arc System Works Asia has also described regional PlayStation Store and Hong Kong and Taiwan Nintendo eShop offers, including a 50% reduction for GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-. That regional notice confirms that listings vary, but does not establish that Japanese prices apply in Hong Kong, Taiwan or elsewhere. Arc System Works Asia regional notice

The name connects the promotion to EVO France, but the offer itself is a digital storefront sale. Arc System Works Europe separately announced a booth at EVO France 2026 at the Palais des Expositions de Nice, with merchandise for purchase and activities. It also identified the event as an Arc World Tour 26-27 Platinum+ tour stop for GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- and the first qualifier for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. That event announcement does not establish that every game in the sale will appear at the booth, and buying a game is not an event ticket. Arc System Works Europe’s EVO France booth announcement
