Well, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is now only barred from purchase in 117 countries according to Steam’s backend, which is a start
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has experienced a reduction in regional purchase restrictions on Steam. The game is now barred from purchase in 117 countries according to the title’s Steam backend data, down from 132 countries previously—marking the removal of purchase restrictions in 15 territories.
This reduction in regional availability blocks appears correlated with changes to the game’s PlayStation Network (PSN) account integration requirements. Previously, players in certain regions were unable to access portions of the game that required PSN authentication, which likely contributed to the broader geographic purchase restrictions in those territories.
The gradual expansion suggests that updates to backend requirements and regional compliance measures are enabling broader availability. Changes to PSN integration requirements or adjustments to regional licensing agreements may have facilitated this shift.
This development illustrates the complexities publishers face when managing regional content restrictions, particularly when third-party platform integrations like PlayStation Network are involved. Such geographic limitations constrain global distribution and restrict player access based on location, highlighting ongoing industry challenges with international content licensing.
