Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls PC Port Woes
On a less favorable note for Sony, the PC port of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has faced significant backlash. Prominent figure in the fighting game community, MaximilianDood, live-streamed uninstalling the game due to its “frustrating” performance issues. This incident is reminiscent of previous console-to-PC port difficulties faced by the industry, such as the rocky launch of Dragon Ball FighterZ. The negative feedback from high-profile gamers suggests Sony may need to revisit its quality assurance processes for PC ports to prevent further damage to its reputation amidst gamers. More on this can be found in the detailed coverage by Push Square.
