Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a crossover fighting game from ARC SYSTEM WORKS, PlayStation and Marvel Games, has launched in poor shape on PC, prompting a fix-it patch on the day of writing. The Steam version has drawn a "Mostly Negative" rating and falling player numbers, with users citing performance problems and the absence of Linux support, even as the PS5 version is reportedly running well. The disparity matters because it undermines a cross-platform fighting game where PC and console players are matched together online, and it risks souring the title's reception just days after release.

The developer has confirmed the update, deployed via server maintenance, brings "PC performance and stability improvements, including reduced lag and fixes for frame drops." Complaints have persisted since the game's launch last Thursday, with issues reportedly causing lag and desync even for PS5 players paired with PC opponents online. One top Steam review branded it "one of the worst fighting game PC ports," while the game's core mechanics, including its tag and combo systems, are being praised by at least one reviewer once the technical issues are set aside.
