Those on consoles would have to do a little bit more by creating a Sega account, and visiting a separate website.

Sega is also encouraging people to join the game’s official Discord server in order for them to provide more detailed feedback to the developers.
Players who participate in the closed beta will receive an in-game title on Oct. 30, 2025, which is the same day the game will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Recently, there has been an effort by Sega to revive the Virtua Fighter franchise. Currently, the company is developing a new entry to the franchise. Additionally, its esports scene is also getting a revival, with Sega paying more attention to it.
