For those who might not be aware, NVIDIA, SEGA, and the Virtua Fighter series share a long, storied history dating back 30 years. Back in the 1990s, as 3D visuals in games began to appear, SEGA's arcade fighting game Virtua Fighter quickly became one of the hallmarks of where gaming technology was headed. And as part of bringing the game to PC, SEGA partnered with NVIDIA to leverage its NV1 chip to power this version of the game.

Today, 30 years later, SEGA Akihabara Arcade in Tokyo, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, SEGA CEO Haruki Satomi, SEGA COO Shuji Utsumi, Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki, and former SEGA CEO and President Shoichiro Irimajiri came together to celebrate this partnership by announcing that the upcoming VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS is headed to RTX Spark.

RTX Spark is NVIDIA's new custom Arm-based APU built for premium laptops, debuting at Computex 2026, delivering powerful CPU performance with RTX graphics technologies and fast memory. With RTX Spark-powered Windows on Arm laptops on track for later this year, one of the highlights of these devices will be their PC gaming capabilities.

Although it's unclear if it will be a native Windows on Arm version of the game, that's the assumption here, as the addition of VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS compatibility on RTX Spark devices also includes native support for RTX technologies like DLSS. In addition to this, NVIDIA and SEGA's partnership will apparently extend to SEGA's various 'iconic franchises' with the developer and publisher announcing that it will fully support the RTX Spark platform.
