Most everyone was excited for a new, fast-paced Marvel fighting game from the developers of the highly-lauded Guilty Gear series and Dragon Ball FighterZ \u2014 but after launch, that excitement seems to have dwindled into a spiral of frustration.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Data from Steam Charts shows that the title boasts a current active PC player count of 427 players on Steam, with a 24-hour peak of 791 players. The game\u2019s all-time peak on Steam is listed at 13,787 players, but keep in mind that these are just Steam figures and don\u2019t account for PlayStation users.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Knights of Doom State of Play June 2026 Reveal Trailer &#8211; Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-pc-sales-figures-and-player-count-spark-worry-from-players-about-games-longevity.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sales figures for Tokon on PC have also driven discourse around the game; data from Alinea Analytics shows a cavernous disparity between platforms, with 82% of copies being sold on PlayStation compared to just 18% on Steam. That being said, it has generated an estimated $49.7 million in revenue, selling approximately 750,000 copies across both platforms combined.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Those numbers aren\u2019t anything to sniff at, and it\u2019s worth noting that the competition is stiff. Street Fighter 6 is definitely the most successful fighting game on the market right now, and Tokon was unlikely to ever topple it. The game is certainly seeing success on PlayStation \u2014 but its extremely rough launch on PC is likely to blame for the severe disparity between who&#8217;s playing on what platform.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The game infamously suffered issues with its PC port at launch, to the point where prominent community figure Maximilian Dood literally uninstalled it during one of his live streams in a damning moment that went viral. While a patch was quickly released to help solve these problems, Tokon\u2019s producer admitted that it would be difficult to regain players\u2019 trust after this, and the game\u2019s director, Kazuto Sekine, apologized for the ordeal in an honest statement a month later.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While Tokon appears to be thriving on PlayStation, its comparatively lackluster playerbase on PC and strikingly smaller sales figures on Steam have sparked a debate within the fighting game community as to whether or not the game has what it takes to weather the storm in an increasingly crowded market of IP-based tag fighting games (hello, Invincible VS and Avatar Legends). We also can\u2019t discount the fact that the game was initially blocked in 132 countries due to PSN requirements.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">One of the loudest voices in this conversation is Guilty Gear and Smash Bros pro William \u2018Leffen\u2019 Hjelte. \u201cUnless Tokon turns the game around gameplay wise by next patch, I&#8217;m gonna drop it,\u201d he wrote in a viral post on X\/Twitter. \u201cGameplay aside, I can&#8217;t even get matches in EU, it feels like the serious playerbase is maybe, at best, 1\/10th of Strive\u2019s and 2XKO\u2019s here.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cI genuinely think the game is saveable if they act fast and correctly, but with us not even knowing when the patch is coming and only four characters coming (no date), I think it&#8217;s probably over, at least if you care about having a big scene. Very sad, I had a lot of high hopes for Tokon.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I genuinely think the game is saveable if they act fast and correctly but with us not even knowing when the patch is coming and only 4 chars coming (no date) I think its probably over, at least if you care about having a big scene.<br \/>Very sad, I had a lot of high hopes for Tokon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leffen (@TSM_Leffen) September 22, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cDragon Ball FighterZ sold over two million copies in its first week,\u201d another player pointed out. \u201cTokon probably won&#8217;t even break one million in six months. This is truly sad that they fumbled such an easy win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cYeah&#8230; This game will only have a year&#8217;s worth of content, and only because it&#8217;s already made or in the planning stages. I don&#8217;t think Cyclops will bring in the crowd Tokon needs,\u201d another speculated.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Others, however, are arguing that it\u2019s only been just under two months since the game came out, and are pointing to its success on PlayStation as to why things might not be as grim as some voices in the FGC believe.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cMarvel Tokon came out August 6. Not even two months ago,\u201d YouTuber and prominent community member Mightykeef said. \u201cNot\u2026 even\u2026 two months ago. I\u2019ve seen such an insane amount of doom posting for a fighting game that has not even been able to breath for two months, lol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cTokon is an incredible fighting game, but it&#8217;s still a fighting game. Always a niche genre. Hell, one of the goats of the genre, UMVC3, didn&#8217;t crack 600k in two months,\u201d another pointed out.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIt took Marvel vs Capcom 2 years to become the mythical legend it is. Started in arcade, then ported over to Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox. It\u2019s not gonna happen overnight. And I love Tokon, I want more of it. We need to really end the stupid seasonal DLC crap. Just launch with more characters,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The FGC culture is so different than I remember.
