MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls receives big PC anti-stutter update
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls’ new PC update greatly improves performance
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls has received a new PC update that has greatly improved the game’s performance. The game’s patch notes say that CPU loads have been greatly reduced, making the game much less CPU-limited. Additionally, the change reportedly increases game responsiveness and reduces lag-related issues.
Other changes include an audio processing fix that lowers system loads. Unnecessary audio checks have also been removed to improve system performance and reduce framerate drops. Another fix has been implemented that reduces framerate drops at certain resolutions.
Overall, this update allows MARVEL Tōkon to run much better on PC. This is especially true for gamers with lower-end systems (where CPU performance limits would have a larger impact).
🖥️ PC Fixes
⚡ Reduced CPU Usage
Multiple fixes have been implemented to reduce overall CPU usage, including:
An issue where the CPU ran high throughout the start up process.
An issue where additional load on the system was being created due to periodic audio processing during matches.
📉 Sudden Performance Drops
We identified an issue where the game was regularly checking for available audio inputs. These unnecessary checks could cause sudden frame drops and performance drops. This has now been addressed.
📉 Frame Rate Drops
Fixed an issue where the frame rate would drop when certain resolutions were selected.
– August 10th 2026 Patch Notes
While the game still has a “Mixed” review rating on Steam, recent reviews do appear to be much more positive than older reviews. PC gamers have been told to give their PCs time to “warm-up” the game’s shaders ahead of gameplay. This will avoid shader compilation stutters during gameplay, increasing smoothness.
Arc System Works has confirmed that they plan to continue working to improve the PC performance and stability of MARVEL Tōkon. So expect further updates.
