While originally released for arcades, all games in the series have been ported to other platforms, including most major consoles.

However, once Sega sold the 2K name to Take-Two Interactive, the next game was released under the original branding as Virtua Tennis 3.

The sequel, Virtua Tennis 2, brought several improvements, most notably enhanced graphics, more courts, and a female roster (consisting of nine players), featuring such players as Serena Williams, Lindsay Davenport or Jelena Dokić.

Sumo Digital was tasked with porting the game to the PlayStation Portable, which gave birth to Virtua Tennis: World Tour in 2005, an updated version of Virtua Tennis 2 that expanded the World Tour mode, but featured the smallest character roster in the series.

In 2006, a new entry, Virtua Tennis 3, was released for arcades using the Sega Lindbergh hardware.
