To wrap up a weekend filled with fighting game excitement at EVO Japan, SEGA organized a special Virtua Fighter 2025 Spring stream, unveiling some thrilling news for Xbox enthusiasts.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza) and AM2 are set to bring Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. to the Xbox Series X|S at an upcoming date. This iteration of Virtua Fighter 5 will include rollback netcode and crossplay functionality, enabling you to face off against Virtua Fighter players on PlayStation 5, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
SEGA has indicated that additional information regarding these console versions will be revealed soon, promising to “deliver even more content to ensure this is far beyond a mere port.” For now, that’s all we’ve got, but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
