A mainline Virtua Fighter title is on a Nintendo console for the first time with the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Virtua Fighter 5 now available.
That also means Sega has released a big new Version 1.10 update for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage on all of the consoles / systems.
This new update actually includes balance updates for the cast including Akira, Pai, Lau, Wolf, Jeffry, Kage, Sarah, Jacky, Lion, Shun, Aoi, Lei-Fei, Vanessa, Goh, Brad, El Blaze, Eileen, Jean, Taka-Arashi, and Dural.
On top of that, Sega is also making some feature adjustments to VF5’s rollback options to probably account for the Switch 2 version.
They even added a Wi-Fi indicator for online matches too
You can check out the full list of patch notes below, which can also be found on the official Virtua Fighter website.
