Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls hit shelves today, but a baffling loop has left many players unable to launch the game. While installing, I heard friends complain that after selecting a language in the boot menu, the title would crash repeatedly and return them to the main screen. If you’re facing the same hiccup, you’re not alone, and there is a known workaround.
Arc System Works addressed the glitch on the game’s official Discord, advising players to avoid relying on the PlayStation 5’s “Ready to Play” prompt. Instead, they recommend waiting until the installation is fully complete before launching the title.
Reports confirm that the problem surfaces after a language selection, trapping the game in a continuous loop and halting progress.
Community members have shared that retrying the launch once the download reaches 100% can bypass the issue. However, this fix is unverified by the developers, so outcomes may differ.
If you’re encountering this problem, feel free to try the suggested workaround while our team investigates the root cause. We’ll publish an official update as soon as we have more details or a permanent fix.
We appreciate your patience and the ongoing reports you’re submitting; each piece of information accelerates our investigation.
We hope the workaround resolves the issue; if it doesn’t, Arc System Works plans to release a definitive fix before the end of the day. It would be disappointing for a glitch to persist into launch day. I’ll catch you all in the lobby—keep an eye out for the Star‑Lord one‑trick.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does Marvel Tōkon crash after selecting a language on launch?
The game’s installation pipeline isn’t fully complete when you hit the language selection, so the boot process starts before all necessary files are ready. This mismatch causes the title to crash and return to the main screen in a loop.
How can I avoid the boot loop on my PS5?
Wait until the installation progress bar reaches 100% before launching the game. Do not use the PS5’s “Ready to Play” prompt; instead, manually start the title from the library after the download is fully finished.
Is there an official patch to fix this issue?
Arc System Works has acknowledged the glitch and is investigating a permanent fix. No official patch has been released yet, but the current workaround—waiting for a full install before launching—works for many players. An update will be announced once a permanent solution is ready.
