Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. was released on PC in January and offers an enhanced port of PS4 release Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, featuring support for 4K graphics, rollback netcode and various balancing tweaks.
The console version, World Stage, is set for release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 30, while a Nintendo Switch 2 version is set to come at a later date. The PC version will also get a free World Stage update on that day, adding the console ports’ new features including a new single-player campaign mode.
Players who own Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown on PS4 will be able to upgrade to World Stage on PS5 for a discounted price.
