Virtua Fighter 5: Updated Arcade Classic Hits Steam

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O: The Classic Arcade Fighter Returns to Steam This Winter

Get ready for a nostalgic punch! SEGA is bringing the legendary Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O to Steam this winter, marking the franchise's highly anticipated debut on the platform. This isn't just a port; it's the ultimate remaster of the classic 3D fighter, boasting upgraded visuals and gameplay enhancements.

This fifth major iteration of the 18-year-old Virtua Fighter 5 franchise promises a refined experience for both veterans and newcomers. Expect smooth online play thanks to rollback netcode, stunning 4K graphics with updated high-resolution textures, and a buttery-smooth 60fps framerate.

Beyond the visual enhancements, R.E.V.O. delivers a wealth of gameplay options. Classic modes like Rank Match, Arcade, Training, and Versus return, complemented by exciting new additions: custom online tournaments (supporting up to 16 players) and a Spectator Mode for observing and learning from top players.

The initial announcement sparked speculation about Virtua Fighter 6, but SEGA has confirmed R.E.V.O. as the next chapter in the series' PC journey. While some fans eagerly await VF6, the overwhelmingly positive reception to the R.E.V.O. trailer demonstrates the enduring appeal of this classic fighting game. The updated visuals, new modes, and rollback netcode create a compelling package for both seasoned players and those experiencing the Virtua Fighter universe for the first time.

Originally launched on SEGA Lindbergh arcades in 2006, then ported to PS3 and Xbox 360, Virtua Fighter 5 has seen numerous iterations, culminating in this definitive R.E.V.O. version. With its roster expanded to 19 playable characters and a suite of modern improvements, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. promises a thrilling return to the ring.
