Crunchyroll reached a major milestone this summer as Crunchyroll Game Vault officially expanded its catalog to 100+ titles. Available exclusively to Mega and Ultimate Fan members, the rapidly growing library delivers immense value through a curated selection of premium titles; all free of ads and in-app purchases.

The game that officially pushed the service past the milestone was Baki Hanma: Blood Arena, a brutal 2D martial arts showdown inspired by the hit anime Baki and developed by Purple Tree—the team behind the retro-arcade boxing hit Thunder Ray. Crunchyroll also launched a wave of fan-favorite games this year, further bolstering its bastion of anime gems, off-beat visual novels, and action-packed shonen adventures.
