The launch of Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls has been marred by a myriad of PC issues, so much so that renowned fighting game community (FGC) content creator Maximilian Dood took to uninstalling the game on stream. This unfolding disaster should be ringing alarm bells for publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Arc System Works. In an August 7 livestream titled "Last day with PC version, sheesh," Dood called out the dismal state of the PC port, stating it was "really s**t." He further explained that the game's technical hiccups were making the experience unenjoyable and significantly reducing his interest in playing. Marvel Tokon made its debut on both PC and PlayStation 5 last week, but the PC version has been plagued with problems, as evidenced by the rapidly dropping reviews on Steam, currently standing at a "Mostly Negative" 39% in English. Despite Arc System Works' promised investigation into these issues, the situation appears to be worsening. Dood's public criticism of the PC port has placed the problem front and center. With the weekend drawing to a close and no proper fixes in sight, it seems Marvel Tokon will need to make amends with the PC gaming community. Before uninstalling the game, Dood announced that he would exclusively play the PlayStation 5 version for future streams due to its smooth performance. Although the console version seems to be running without issue, whether Arc System Works can rectify the PC version's problems or not remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Dood has expressed his satisfaction with the PS5 version, saying even with high latency, matches were smooth, and he plans to avoid the PC version until the issues are resolved.
