You will need both a Switch 2 and a Switch Online subscription to be eligible for this beta.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. launched on Steam in 2024. While Switch 2 fans had to wait a while, SEGA announced it would come to their platform on March 26.

Switch 2 is breaking sales records so far, but there are clearly still some opportunities for improvement. 3^rd party games and online multiplayer both fit that bill, and this is an opportunity for Nintendo to meet the challenge.
