According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/superhys\/status\/2087913995575472290\">new estimates<\/a> by Alinea Analytics, the game has reportedly sold 485,000 units as of August 12, with PS5 being the dominant platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As outlined by Alinea Analytics\u2019 head of market analysis, <a href=\"https:\/\/alineaanalytics.substack.com\/\">Rhys Elliott<\/a>, the PS5 accounted for 74% of sales, and Steam 26%. That&#8217;s not too surprising, as the game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/psa-marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-has-day-one-issues-on-pc\/\">experienced technical issues on PC<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-first-pc-patch-targets-its-biggest-problems\/\">Developer Arc System Works released a patch<\/a> for Marvel Tokon earlier this week, aiming to address multiple performance issues on PC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those sales account for an estimated $33 million in revenue, and Elliott also noted that only 15.1% of the units sold on PS5 were physical copies, which is surprisingly low for a new PlayStation game. Further analysis showed that Marvel Tokon attracted a crowd of hardcore fighting game fans, as 52% of people had previously played Arc&#8217;s Dragon Ball FighterZ, 39% had played Street Fighter 6, and 41% had played Mortal Kombat 1.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1847977\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Marvel-AA.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1847977\" \/>Image credit: Alinea Analytics <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marvel fans also helped drive sales, as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week has passed since Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls launched for PC and PS5, and the new fighting game is off to a solid start.
