Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is coming to consoles
Over the weekend at EVO Japan 2025, Sega were on hand to announced that Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O would be making the jump from PC to consoles, as it comes to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
A release date for the games release on consoles was not given, but as the PC version was revealed and released only a few weeks later, I would imagine this one is not far behind.
“I know we’ve kept you waiting, our Steam release Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is finally coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2! Since Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.‘s launch, we’ve heard your requests for multiplatform support via the official Virtua Fighter Discord and other channels. We on the development team want to give users on all platforms the opportunity to enjoy Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., so we are happy to bring you this announcement.
Also, in bringing this title to multiple platforms, we’re planning to include cross-play support. And to make your cross-play experience even smoother, the rollback functionality used in the Steam version will be supported on all platforms. We’re going to include even more content to make this much more than a simple port, which we’ll tell you about in future updates.”
The game first released in 2006, so it has been around for a while, but the R.E.V.O. version is the most complete release, so console players will get the best version of that. Sega did release a version of Virtua Fighter 5 onto PlayStation 4 a few years ago, though the series has not seen a brand-new entry since the console port of 5 back in 2007.
