Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls reportedly had a difficult start on PC, with new estimates suggesting that the highly anticipated Marvel fighting game sold around 485,000 copies during its first week across PlayStation 5 and Steam. The numbers may look respectable at first glance, but the platform split and early Steam response suggest that the PC version struggled to maintain the momentum generated before launch.
According to estimates shared by GameDataLibrary and reported by TechPowerUp, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls generated approximately $33 million in revenue during its launch week. The PlayStation 5 version accounted for an estimated 74% of total sales, while Steam accounted for the remaining 26%, indicating a clear difference in performance between the two platforms.
The Steam release appears to have been affected by player-reported technical issues, including performance problems, which hurt the game’s early reception. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls reached a peak of around 24,498 concurrent players on Steam shortly after launch, but its player numbers declined afterward. User feedback on the platform has also remained mixed, adding further pressure to the PC release.
This is an interesting result considering the team behind the game. Arc System Works has built a strong reputation in the fighting game genre, while the Marvel license gives Marvel Tōkon access to a large audience of comic book and gaming fans. The combination created significant interest ahead of release, but launch-week sales suggest that the game may not have fully converted that attention into PC purchases.
Third-party analysis also suggests that the title could have reached a much higher sales figure if the PC version had launched in better shape. These figures should still be treated as estimates, as Sony, PlayStation, and Arc System Works have not released official sales numbers.
The first week is unlikely to determine the long-term future of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Fighting games can continue to grow through balance updates, technical improvements, new characters, competitive events, and seasonal content. Fixing the issues affecting the Steam version could therefore play an important role in improving player confidence and attracting new buyers.
