Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'virtual' (simulated, digital) + 'version' (edition/variant), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer that this denotes a digital or simulated edition of something. This compositional pattern is a straightforward adjective+noun combination and is cross-linguistically common, making it transparently interpretable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Virtual version comes from the simple image of virtual, something on a screen and not physical, and version, a 'copy'. Imagine a computer-made model of a product you can try and change before the real one is built, so virtual version means 'a digital or computer-made copy' of a person, object, or system.
