MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls received a patch on August 11 that targets the PC performance issues that have dogged the game since its August 7 launch. The update reduces CPU load to improve overall responsiveness and cut lag-related problems, and fixes a bug that could cause sudden performance drops during gameplay. Backend crash reporting was also improved to speed up issue tracking.
The patch follows a difficult Steam debut. At the time of writing, the game's Steam rating sat at 'mostly negative,' with only 39% of 2,991 reviews positive, down from an earlier 'mixed' rating. The PS5 version, by contrast, holds a 4.49 out of 5 rating.

The developers have asked players to keep sending feedback, saying they will continue to improve the experience.
