Marvel Tōkon launch hit by low framerate, rollback, PSN login and Linux blocks

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls launched on Steam but is facing widespread technical problems that have driven a Mixed user rating. Steam reviews and community posts list low framerates, high CPU usage, rollback spikes in online play, a kernel‑level Easy Anti‑Cheat implementation that prevents Linux play, and a mandatory PlayStation Network login. These issues matter because fighting games require stable framerates and responsive netcode, and the problems are hurting player experience at release.

• Steam user rating is Mixed: 56% negative from roughly 1,600 reviews, with around 10,000 concurrent players on SteamDB at the time of reporting.
• Players describe low framerates (examples as low as 45 fps), unusually high CPU utilization, and rollback spikes that degrade online matches.
• Game uses kernel‑level Easy Anti‑Cheat (EAC) which is preventing the title from running on Linux systems despite prior Arc System Works EAC titles working on Linux.
• The game requires a PlayStation Network (PSN) login to play, and developers had pledged to fix performance issues by launch but those problems persist.
