Despite performance issues on PC, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls runs well on PS5, prompting players to disable crossplay for smoother experience.
This week’s major point of discussion in the PlayStation community is the release and subsequent reception of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, developed by Arc System Works. As reported by Push Square, the game debuted to mixed reviews, particularly on PC, primarily due to performance challenges. Interestingly enough, the title performs significantly better on the PS5, leading to suggestions that PS5 players might benefit from disabling crossplay to sidestep these issues. This underscores the perennial challenge of ensuring consistent launch performance across multiple platforms, especially for high-profile titles such as this.
In other news, Phantom Blade Zero fans might have to wait a bit longer for that deep dive into the game they were promised. A dedicated State of Play broadcast announced earlier seems to be facing delays as the development team is “still finalising details,” according to a report by Push Square. This planned event was scheduled for “late summer” but specifics remain elusive. Such delays emphasize the often unpredictable nature of game development timelines, particularly when aligning marketing and promotional activities with development progress.
Meanwhile, Ghost Recon Wildlands has received a notable upgrade, enhancing its performance on PS5 with a 4K, 60fps update as detailed by Push Square. This upgrade, which includes features like 3D audio, DualSense haptic feedback, and faster loading times, is available to all PS Plus Extra subscribers and is part of Ubisoft’s ongoing efforts to breathe new life into its back catalog by leveraging the capabilities of new hardware.
On the horizon, Ace Combat 8 promises to maintain its tradition of outstanding soundtracks. A development diary highlighted by Push Square focuses on sound and music, assuring fans that they can look forward to yet another auditory treat in this storied franchise. These soundtracks have been a hallmark of the series, and the early focus on music in development suggests this element will once again be a priority.
Finally, news from the financial side of the industry indicates that anticipation for GTA 6 is reaching fever pitch. As noted by Push Square, and echoed by Take-Two’s earnings call, pre-orders have been described as “exceptional.” Despite the game not yet releasing, strong pre-order numbers reflect its significant fan base and high expectations from players eager for the next installment in this iconic series.
