NVIDIA and SEGA Celebrate 30 Years of Innovation, Bringing ‘VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS’ and Other Legendary SEGA Games to NVIDIA RTX Spark 🔗
NVIDIA and SEGA are celebrating more than three decades of collaboration by bringing VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS and future SEGA titles to NVIDIA RTX Spark — a new superchip for slim Windows laptops and compact desktop PCs.
This builds on the companies’ long-standing relationship, which began 30 years ago when NVIDIA worked with SEGA on burgeoning graphics technology for arcade systems and gaming consoles — with the NVIDIA NV1 chip powering the first Virtua Fighter title on PC, among the world’s first 3D fighting games.
SEGA will support RTX Spark, giving gamers new ways to experience SEGA’s iconic franchises, including the upcoming VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS.
Announced from the heart of Akihabara, a global gaming technology hub, at the original SEGA Akihabara Arcade (now GiGO Akihabara 3), VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS coming to RTX Spark reinforces the companies’ commitment to innovation and shows a glimpse of the future of gaming on a new era of Windows PCs designed for personal agents, AI, creating and gaming.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined SEGA CEO Haruki Satomi; SEGA chief operating officer Shuji Utsumi; Yu Suzuki, creator of Virtua Fighter; and former SEGA President Shoichiro Irimajiri, at the birthplace of countless arcade memories to celebrate the milestone.
They showcased how technology partnerships can evolve across generations of hardware and software, connecting the gaming industry’s heritage with its future.
The expanding NVIDIA RTX Spark ecosystem — including SEGA and other industry leaders — will offer gamers new experiences harnessing NVIDIA ray tracing, DLSS and AI technologies, while preserving and celebrating the iconic franchises they know and love.
