Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage Arrives Globally
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage Launches Globally with Cross-play and Rollback Netcode
SEGA has officially released Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage, the ultimate evolution of its pioneer 3D fighting series. The game is now available for download starting today, October 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). The update, which was previously an automatic, free upgrade for current Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. owners on Steam, introduces crucial modern features that fighting game fans worldwide have long requested.
A New Era for Competitive Fighting
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is more than just a rerelease; it is a significant technical upgrade designed to push the series into the global competitive landscape.
- Rollback Netcode and Cross-play: The biggest addition for the community is the implementation of Rollback Netcode and full Cross-play support. This allows players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) to compete against one another in the smoothest online battles yet, dramatically expanding the player base across the globe.
- Gameplay Evolution: The update also introduces a new suite of moves, combos, and character balance updates, marking the first significant balance overhaul for the game in over a decade.
- Enhanced Training: Both the replay functionality and training tools have been improved, allowing players to study their past matches and practice complex combos with greater precision.
Introducing the All-New World Stage Mode
The update features a brand-new, robust single-player experience designed to engage both veterans and newcomers.
- World Stage Mode: This new mode challenges players in a single-player gauntlet that pits them against CPU opponents based on the “Ghost” data of famous real-life Virtua Fighter professional players. This provides a constantly evolving and high-level training ground that mimics real-world competitive scenarios.
- Playable Dural: The iconic series antagonist, Dural, is now available as a playable fighter for the first time in a major console version (though as a separate paid add-on), adding a unique character to the roster.
Editions and Upgrade Paths
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is available in two main editions, with options for existing owners to upgrade at a reduced cost.
- Standard Edition: Includes the base game with all the new features.
- 30th Anniversary Edition: This premium bundle celebrates the series’ history by including the base game, the Legendary Pack DLC, the Yakuza Series Collaboration Pack, an exclusive Swimsuit Costume Set, a Soundtrack Collection, and Pre-Production Artwork.
- Upgrade Discounts: Owners of the original PlayStation 4 version (Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown) can purchase the new PlayStation 5 version at a discounted price, and all previously purchased PS4 DLC will carry over. Steam owners of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. automatically receive the World Stage upgrade for free.
Our Take: A Flawless Victory for Fighters
SEGA deserves a thunderous applause for this release. Virtua Fighter 5 is one of the pillars of 3D fighting, and giving it modern competitive features like Rollback Netcode and full Cross-play is an act of genuine respect for the genre and the community. The new World Stage single-player mode, which essentially allows you to train against AI ghosts of real pros, is a brilliant addition that ensures this classic title is now equipped to thrive for years to come. The era of fighting on a flawless connection, regardless of console, has finally arrived.
