SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL has just received a big update.

The new version of the game is based on highly acclaimed PlayStation 4 edition. New features include multiplayer, achievements support in Galaxy client, tournament mode, and more. The update is free for all game owners.

The updated version of the game is available for Windows only. The original version for Mac and Linux will still be available for download as a bonus goodie.

Important notice: Along with this update, the price of SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL is increasing. Due to this fact, the game is no longer discounted during the Summer Sale Festival.
Linux and Mac support dropped, price almost doubled and game prematurely removed from the sale, that's indeed Good News™!
Is this the update that added rollback netcode to the PS4 version?

That's so dope, I was just playing the game last week. However, it asks me to 'log in' to go into multiplayer. What's that about? How do I make it work? Log in where?

You have to log in to GoG Galaxy to play online multiplayer. Local hotseat multiplayer can be done by selecting single player and then versus (or just hit the 2nd player attack button during single player).
So, SNK decided to replace shoddy dotemu SS5sp port with Code Mystics decent one. Hopefully, Garou: MotW will get similar treatment soon...
Just a heads up, the legacy Mac and Linux installers were added today.
Good to see SNK fixing these retro games, though I hope more of them come here. God, the initial wave was shit. I might even buy it here (I originally got this on Humble as part of the 25th anniversary collection).

I'm also hoping that Seibu Keihatsu takes the clue and releases Raiden Legacy in a competent fashion. The DotEmu versions of those games are ass too.
Hopefully the new Samurai Shodown game makes it to gog day one.

I would love to see that but King of Fighters XIV isn't even here yet. It's been on Steam for 2 years now. I might be more optimistic if KoFXIV was released here but I still wouldn't hold my breath for day one Samurai Shodown.

Show GoG some love SNK!

Yeah, now that I think about it, hoping for a day one release is wishful thinking. :)
is this update to applied to all the pc versions of the game no matter where its bought? or did GOG exclusively obtain this update to the pc version?

I think it's both GOG and Steam, but no Humble.

I was logged in. It was a bug they fixed the next day, but thanks anyway. :)
