Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Launches with a Boot Loop Issue
The newly released Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is now available, but some players are running into a puzzling error that prevents the game from starting after they pick a language in the boot menu. Friends of mine reported that the game crashes and returns to the main menu, leaving them stuck.
Arc System Works addressed the problem on the game’s Discord, suggesting that players wait until the download reaches 100% and the PS5 notification says the game is fully installed before launching, rather than jumping in as soon as the “Ready to Play” alert appears.
The developer confirmed they are investigating the looping bug, which occurs after language selection and can freeze the game.
Community members have shared a workaround: restart the game once the download is complete. While this fix isn’t officially verified, several users say it lets them get past the error.
If you’re experiencing the issue, try the restart method while the team continues to look into a permanent solution. Updates will be posted as soon as more information is available.
Thanks for your patience and for reporting the problem — your feedback speeds up the investigation. Hopefully the workaround works for you, and if not, a proper fix should arrive before the day ends. I’ll see you in the lobby; look for the Star‑Lord one‑trick.
