SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have announced that Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
The popular 3D fighting game will feature full cross-platform play and rollback netcode support, bringing modern online functionality to the classic franchise.
The announcement was made during the Virtua Fighter Direct 2025 Spring livestream, where legacy series producer Seiji Aoki confirmed the long-requested console versions.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. originally launched for PC via Steam on January 28 with 4K visuals, enhanced textures, and modernised online capabilities.
Aoki acknowledged fan feedback from platforms like the official Virtua Fighter Discord, stating: “We’ve heard your requests for multiplatform support.
Our development team is thrilled to finally bring this title to consoles, allowing players across all systems to experience it together.”
No specific release date has been confirmed, but SEGA teased that additional content will be revealed in future updates.
The developers emphasised that the upcoming versions are “much more than a simple port”, hinting at expanded features beyond the PC release.
For PlayStation users, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown is currently playable via backwards compatibility on PS5, but R.E.V.O. marks a definitive next-gen update for the iconic fighter.
The inclusion of rollback netcode aims to provide a smoother and more responsive online experience, especially crucial for competitive play.
With cross-play functionality, players on PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 will be able to compete regardless of platform—bringing together the Virtua Fighter community for the first time across multiple systems.
Further announcements regarding content and release timing are expected in the coming months.
