Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown / R.EV.O. will be going multi-console. PS 5, Xbox Series X | S and Switch 2 versions will be added to the runs.
Announced today from the Virtua Fighter Direct Spring Update, it seems as though Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will be added, along with crossplay across all systems. Rollback Netcode will also be coming to the game’s other versions. A possible name change could be coming to the PS4 / 5 version, but that remains to be seen.
This is the first time that a Virtua Fighter 5 title is available, on a Nintendo console, without the need to go through the Yakuza / RGG route. In the direct, Director Aoki promises that more content will be coming to the game.
At first, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown was considered to be a remastered version of the Final Showdown title. During the R.E.V.O. update, additional moves, from Virtua Fighter 5 R, and balance changes came earlier in January.
No release date has been mentioned for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 versions. It’s assumed that the target will be this summer.
