Another self-own for Sony: Marvel Tōkon’s PC version is unavailable in over 100 countries thanks to our old friend PSN again

PC Gamer · 2 days ago

Marvel Tōkon, an upcoming fighting game, has been region-restricted on Steam across 132 countries that lack PlayStation Network service availability. The geographic limitation stems from the title's PSN account requirement, preventing access in major fighting game markets such as Pakistan and limiting the game's global reach.

Sony previously imposed similar regional locks on other PC ports including God of War Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2, but reversed most restrictions following player backlash. However, Until Dawn remains restricted despite these reversals. The renewed region-locking of Marvel Tōkon indicates the underlying issue persists, contributing to Sony's pattern of recent business decisions facing criticism.
