Sony Blocks Marvel Tōkon in 132 Countries as PSN Limits Hit PC Launch
3 articles · Updated · Kotaku · Jul 4
Summary
132 countries are listed as restricted for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls on SteamDB, leaving the August 6 PC release unavailable there on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The blocked list matches countries where PlayStation Network is unavailable, pointing to PSN account-linking needs tied to the game's launch crossplay between PC and PS5.
Sony has not publicly explained the restriction, but the country list mirrors the earlier Helldivers 2 controversy and includes markets such as Jamaica, Iran, Belarus, Egypt and Nigeria.
The move risks fresh backlash as Sony reportedly shifts its PC strategy toward live-service releases, making PSN-linked online features a bigger issue for future launches.
