There’s also “many more minor bug fixes, Quality of Life improvements and tweaks.” The latest update also adds player rooms for up to six players, a replay gallery accessible from the main menu with replays automatically saved after each match, and new training mode shortcuts to reset to corners and swap sides with the training dummy. It also displays ping and jitter information on screen during an online game. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R‘s implementation of rollback netcode lets you set the input delay to between 0 and 4 frames, and will recommend a setting for each match depending on the connection quality. It can’t magically fix a terrible connection, but its much better at handling middle-of-the-road connections than delay-based netcode.

Ars Technica has a great, detailed explanation of what rollback netcode is, but in short, it’s a way of managing lag by having the game predict the other players’ inputs when there’s delay, then “roll back” that prediction and update the game state with the actual inputs if there’s any discrepancy. Timing and muscle memory is crucial to playing fighting games, so even a small amount of input delay can be disruptive. Rollback netcode is a way of helping to smooth over the lag issues that can arise with high latency between players. The latest update also adds welcome new features like player rooms, replay support, and new training mode shortcuts. After a couple of months of beta testing, rollback netcode (aka GGPO) has finally been rolled out to Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R on Steam.
