Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- is a singleplayer and multiplayer side view arcade and fighting game in the Guilty Gear series.

It was released on PC on December 14, 2016, seven months after it first release on the PlayStation 3 and 4 consoles, and over a year after its original arcade release in Japan.

Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is an update to the game, released on June 1, 2017, and existing owners of Revelator need to purchase an edition upgrade package to access its new content. Confusingly, the Steam SKU was renamed to this version for all users. On October 12, 2022, the game was repackaged on the Steam store to include the Rev 2 content with the main game purchase, with the edition upgrade permanently discounted. A major update adding w:rollback netcode to the game's online play released on January 20, 2023.
