Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage Update 1.10 Launches Alongside Switch 2 Version

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have announced that the version 1.10 update for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage will launch on March 26 alongside the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage update 1.10 brings wide-sweeping character balance adjustments for the roster, enables Dural for Arcade and World Stage modes, and much more. This looks to be the largest update yet for the game.
