Unfortunately, it appears the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch aren't in the lineup, though it could release on the Switch 2 at a later date. BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls won't be available on Xbox Game Pass or other subscriptions at launch.
PC Minimum Requirements for BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls
There are a few few minimum requirements you'll need to meet to be able to play BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls. We listed all the necessary specs below, sourced from the official Steam page.
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11

Does BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls Have Crossplay?
It appears that BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls probably won't have crossplay in the foreseeable future. Bandai Namco doesn't usually add crossplay functionality to their games, as even Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is missing this crucial feature.

If Rebirth of Souls is supported for years, then there's a slim chance that Bandai might add it in a later update. Until then, we'll be limited to interacting with players on our respective platforms.
Is There Ranked Play in BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls?
A ranked mode isn't confirmed, but there's online play, so hopefully we'll receive a competitive matchmaking option. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was released with a ranking system, but it doesn't offer rewards and is only available to players who participate in ranked play.
BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls may have a ranked mode, but there's nothing suggesting that it'll be more than a number beside your gamertag.
Will BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls Have DLC?
Luckily, BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls will be receiving post-launch support, including new DLC characters. During an interview with ComicBook.com, Game Producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki said:
“While we can’t share specific dates yet, we’re working hard to ensure the DLC releases without a long wait.”
It looks like the season pass currently includes four playable characters, though who they are is up in the air. You also receive seven days of early access if you own the Season Pass, so it has some extra value if you're a BLEACH super-fan.
Esports Impact
Anime fighters have a complicated history in competitive fighting games. More traditional games like Dragon Ball FighterZ revolutionized the space, bringing together some of the biggest names from across the FGC like SonicFox and Leffen. However, arena fighters are almost always ignored by the esports side of fighting games. Bleach: Rebirth of Souls certainly has arena fighter elements, but also has many mechanics that could give serious fighting game players a reason to care. With such a popular IP and a recent revival through Thousand Year Blood War, this could be the game that brings another major anime IP into the FGC.
