Final Community Rollback Beta Test: Now Live! (Steam Only)

The game has now had it's two Beta Tests, but the full release was pushed back due to needing more time polishing the netcode. This is a good thing as it means we can make sure that the netcode is the best it can be! The testing is currently live and will run until "an improvement in quality is confirmed", so make sure to help out with the test!

How To Enter the Beta

1. Right-Click on SAMURAI SHODOWN’s properties inside Steam
2. Select the Betas tab and then select "Rollback Beta 3" from the drop-down menu.
3. That will prompt an update on Steam with the early beta version of SAMURAI SHODOWN with updated Rollback Netcode.

About the game

Samurai Shodown (known as Samurai Spirits in Japan) or "SamSho" is a 2019 fighting game by SNK, colloquially referred to as Samurai Shodown 7/SS7, due to being the 7th mainline entry in the series. Canonically, the game takes place between the events of Samurai Shodown V and the original SamSho. However, it has also been called a soft reboot of the series, due to featuring characters from various points across the main timeline. The game is considered a cult classic in the fighting game community, due to its unique gameplay style.
