Update version 5.01 is now being rolled out for Tekken 7, and patch notes have been released. The previous update i.e. 5.00, was said to be the last major update for Namco’s popular fighting game, so the changes made in the new update aren’t as substantial.
Major changes in update 5.01 for Tekken 7 include balance adjustments and bug fixes for some characters. The update has also taken action against accounts that repeatedly engage in malicious cheating or acts that violate the terms of use in online mode.
