Limited Run Games is releasing a physical version of Sega’s classic Virtua Fighter 2 on Xbox consoles.
The original 1994 arcade game is considered to be one of the most influential examples of the genre ever made and was ported to the Saturn and Genesis in the ’90s. It was later released on the PS2, and would come to PS3 and Xbox 360 as a digital download.
This new version will run on both Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X consoles and it has a new online mode that allows you to face off against other players over the internet. A six-player online lobby will also be supported.
The standard edition costs $34.99, while the Classic Edition is $64.99 and ships with a Saturn-style “longbox”, commemorative coin and art cards.
Pre-orders are open now and close on January 12th, 2025. It is estimated that the game will ship in June next year.
Go on.... treat yourself to a new game.

This is awesome news for fans of classic fighting games! Virtua Fighter 2 is such a landmark title, and seeing it get a physical release on Xbox is a blast from the past. The addition of online play is a great touch too—can’t wait to challenge my friends in those six-player lobbies!
The Classic Edition sounds pretty sweet with that Saturn-style longbox and collectible goodies. I might have to snag that one to add to my collection. Pre-orders closing in January means I need to act fast! This is definitely a must-have for anyone who appreciates the roots of 3D fighting. Let’s go!
