VR Soccer, known as Actua Soccer (アクチャーサッカー) in Japan, is a football game for the Sega Saturn. It was not released in Europe, who instead received Actua Soccer Club Edition.
In North America, the game was announced as VR Soccer '96[4], dropping the "'96" late in development. As a result of this, the game was advertised as VR Soccer '96 and still often refers to itself by this name
