Developer Arc System Works released the first post-launch patch for the PC version of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls on Monday (10). The update aims to bring the PC experience to parity with the PlayStation 5 version following a week of widespread reports regarding frame rate drops and online instability.
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls launched the previous week on both PlayStation 5 and PC. While the PS5 console version ran impeccably, the PC build struggled to maintain a consistent 60 FPS across most hardware configurations.
This frame rate instability compromised gameplay across both offline and online competitive environments, causing significant slowdowns and high rollback frame counts. In an official statement delivered via the game’s official Discord server, the Japanese development team confirmed that the patch intends to equalize the experience between the two platforms.
| Update Feature | Direct Practical Effect |
| CPU Load Reduction | Increases overall command responsiveness and reduces latency-related issues. |
| Performance Drop Bug Fix | Eliminates sudden performance losses during matches. |
| Background Crash Reporting Enhancements | Accelerates crash tracking for developers to improve stability in future updates. |
Following a brief server maintenance period that concluded prior to the full patch rollout, PC players were able to test the improvements in offline modes. Initial community reception was positive, with many players noting significant gains in fluidity, although results were not uniform across all users.
Online multiplayer has been the primary source of player frustration since launch, and a permanent fix for these network issues has yet to be delivered:
Despite its current online hurdles, the title combines mechanical accessibility with tactical depth that rivals few modern current-generation fighting games, leaving the community awaiting further fixes to permanently resolve online instability.
