Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is available today, but some players are unable to get past the opening language-selection screen. After choosing a language, the game may crash repeatedly and return to the PlayStation 5 home menu.
Arc System Works has acknowledged the problem and is investigating it. In the meantime, players have reported that waiting for the installation to reach 100% before launching the game again can bypass the loop.
How to work around the Marvel Tōkon boot error
- Allow Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls to finish downloading and installing completely.
- Do not rely on the PlayStation 5 notification saying the game is “Ready to Play”.
- Wait until the download has reached 100%, then start the game again.
This is a community-reported workaround rather than a confirmed technical fix, so it may not resolve the issue for everyone. If the game continues returning you to the menu, further troubleshooting or an official update may be necessary.
Arc System Works says it has received reports of a loop occurring after language selection. The developer is investigating and has asked players to continue sharing their findings. It also noted that retrying after the download reaches 100% has helped some members of the community, while stressing that the workaround is not officially verified.

Hopefully, allowing the full installation to complete gets affected players into the lobby. Arc System Works has indicated that it will provide more information when it has an update or an official solution.
