Overview
- SteamDB entries published over the weekend show Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls listed as unavailable to buy on Steam in 132 countries.
- The blocked territories match places where PlayStation Network is not offered, which reporting links to a PSN account‑linking requirement for crossplay on PC.
- Players in some affected countries report they can still view the game's Steam store page, creating inconsistent availability and pointing to a backend configuration issue rather than a simple fully enforced ban.
- The situation echoes the Helldivers 2 case in 2024 when PSN linking removed PC availability in many nations before Sony backtracked after public and developer pressure.
- If the block stays in place it will bar many PC users from the open beta on July 24–26 and the planned August 6 launch, and the episode raises fresh consumer backlash and scrutiny of Sony’s PC account policies with a possible reversal still plausible.
