How to play the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta

The Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta in July 2026 is your first real chance to access a slice of the full game and learn the 4v4 Marvel fighter before launch.

It’s fast, team-based, and built around assists, smart tagging, and heavy pressure. Here’s how the open beta works, how to download it on PC and PlayStation 5, and more.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta schedule

The Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta runs from July 24 to July 26, 2026, at Pacific Time on both PS5 and PC.

This means you will have 72 hours to enjoy the open beta. For other time zones, here’s what the start and end times look like:

  • Start : July 24 at 8am BST or 4pm JST
  • End : July 26 at 11:59pm PT or July 27 at 7:59am BST or 3:59pm JST

How to download Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta on PS5 and PC

You don’t need to register or pre-order to join the oepn beta. Pre-downloads open two hours before the servers go live, so you can install the client early and be ready right at launch.

PS5

To download the open beta on your PS5, all you need to do is:

  1. Sign in to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account on your PS5 or PS5 Pro
  2. Open the PlayStation Store
  3. Search for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta
  4. Select the Open Beta entry (not the full game pre-order page)
  5. Start the download
  6. Once installed, launch the beta client anytime between July 24 and July 26 while the servers are online

You don’t need PlayStation Plus, but you do need an internet connection and an active PSN account.

PC

On PC, you can play Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta via Steam and Epic Games Launcher.

  1. Open Steam or the Epic Games Store on your PC
  2. Search for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta
  3. Download and install the client from the store page

You can play the Open Beta for free on both platforms, and no invite or code will be required. During the beta, you can try the game’s team fighting system, test the controls, and get used to the pace of matches before the full launch on August 6.

What’s in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta

The beta includes 15 playable characters, where matches are played as 4v4 team battles in a best-of-five round format, and both teams share a single vital gauge. The first round begins as a 2v2 fight, and the rest of your team joins as you trigger stage transitions, win rounds, or knock opponents into the corner.

It also features six stages, including Marvel’s New York (Night), so there is enough variety to get a feel for the game’s presentation and match flow.

You can also jump into an online lobby with both Casual and Ranked Matches. If you want to play offline, the beta also includes Local Versus Mode. On top of that, it comes with a fully featured Training Mode, which is probably the best place for new players to learn movement, assists, and combos before heading online.

There are also three chapters of The Amazing Guardians’ Episode Mode, so the beta is not limited to versus play alone.
