Newest Marvel Game Is Off to a Rough Start on Steam: “The Issues Are So Steep”
Arc System Works said it is investigating reports of low frame rates, lag and connection problems after thousands of negative Steam reviews.
- On August 6, the PC version of Marvel Tokon launched, immediately facing performance issues that Arc System Works is now investigating following player complaints.
- Review-Bombing on Steam has marred the game's launch, with thousands of negative user reviews specifically blaming Sony PlayStation for the port's technical problems.
- Technical complaints often center on Sony account services and anti-tampering software; one reviewer wrote, "My GPU sits at 20-30%, while my CPU is constantly maxed out."
- Mandatory always-online connectivity and the PlayStation PC SDK integration have drawn criticism, with Steam customers on the Valve-owned platform labeling the requirement as "insane."
- Arc System Works has not revealed what is causing the performance problems or when a patch will be released, only confirming it is investigating the reports.
