Is Virtua Fighter 5 REVO available across different platforms?

      SEGA / SEGA

      In the realm of top fighting games, Virtua Fighter has lost prominence in recent years. Fortunately, the forthcoming game Virtua Fighter 6 is set to restore the series to its previous stature. Before that, however, we have a new iteration of the last main entry, titled Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. While it’s not a complete remake, this version represents the ultimate way to experience this technical fighter. That said, the audience for this franchise remains smaller than most, raising concerns about finding online matches. If you're wondering whether this new version includes cross-platform support to broaden the player base, we’ll provide a comprehensive overview.

      Is Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O cross-platform?

      The answer to the question of whether Virtua Fighter 5 is cross-platform is two-fold. As of now, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O does not offer cross-platform capabilities since it is currently only available on PC. However, during the Virtua Fighter Spring Direct, it was announced that the game will soon be launched on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Switch 2, complete with full crossplay functionality across all platforms. Project Producer Seiji Aoiki stated: “I know we’ve kept you waiting. Our Steam release of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is finally coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2! Since the launch of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., we’ve heard your requests for multiplatform support through the official Virtua Fighter Discord and other channels. We on the development team want to give users on all platforms the chance to enjoy Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., so we are excited to share this announcement. Additionally, in bringing this title to multiple platforms, we’re planning to incorporate cross-play support. To enhance your cross-play experience, the rollback functionality featured in the Steam version will also be available on all platforms. We’ll include even more content to ensure this is much more than just a simple port, with further details coming in future updates.”

      The only remaining question is when the game will be available on consoles. No release date has been provided, but we do know that crossplay will be a feature upon its release on these additional platforms.

      Is Smite 2 cross-platform?

      MOBA games are often considered some of the best titles on PC, but they typically don’t perform well on consoles. However, similar to Valorant and Path of Exile 2, Smite 2 is making its way into the console market. Featuring a large roster of legendary Gods and other iconic figures, this game is among the most accessible in the genre. The first installment is included in our list of all cross-platform games, but does the same apply to its free-to-play sequel? Here’s everything you need to know about Smite 2's cross-platform capabilities.

      Is Smite 2 cross-platform?

      Even before Smite 2 concluded its early access phase, it was confirmed that it supports full crossplay across all platforms. Currently, those platforms include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. While the first game was accessible on Switch, this sequel appears to be too large for that console, though it’s likely to be available on Switch 2 when it eventually releases.
