Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the latest entry from Arc System Works, is experiencing a launch day issue that prevents some players from booting up the game. Reports indicate that after selecting a language in the game’s boot menu, the game can enter a persistent loop, crashing and returning players to the console’s main menu. This problem has been acknowledged by the developers, who have provided a potential workaround.
Workaround for Boot Loop
Arc System Works shared a statement on the game’s official Discord server suggesting a method to circumvent the error. The primary recommendation is to refrain from launching the game immediately when the PlayStation 5 indicates it is “Ready to Play.” Instead, players are advised to wait until the download and installation process has reached 100% completion before attempting to start the game. While this is a community-reported solution and not officially verified, it has shown success for some players.
The development team is actively investigating the bug. They have expressed gratitude for player reports, noting that community feedback aids in their investigation. Players experiencing the boot loop are encouraged to try the workaround while Arc System Works continues to work towards a definitive fix. An update will be provided once more information is available or an official solution is ready.
This launch day hiccup is a frustration for players eager to jump into the new Marvel fighting game, and the developers are aiming to resolve it swiftly.
