Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has received an update focused on reducing performance issues, improving stability, and fixing problems across gameplay, matchmaking, replays, rankings, and other modes. The PC version also receives performance improvements aimed at reducing heavy processing loads during matches.
The update fixes several gameplay issues involving characters and assists, while PS5 players will no longer lose certain settings after restarting the game. Matchmaking has also been adjusted for Ranked and Casual Matches, although previous replay data will no longer be accessible following the replay fixes.
