Tekken 8 Online Woes: Matchmaking Issues and New Gaming Experience

Tekken 8, one of the most highly anticipated events in the gaming world, officially launched on Thursday and has garnered immense interest from the gaming community. However, not everything is going smoothly for the fans of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, especially when it comes to the aspects related to online gameplay.

Various gaming community portals have been flooded with reports of matchmaking problems and difficulties in spectating other players’ matches. Despite this, the developers at Bandai Namco assure players that they are working to resolve these issues. Producer Katsuhiro Harada released a statement addressing the matter.

The launch day is expected to attract a large number of users, but it seems that the servers are struggling to cope with the demand. Harada acknowledges that these problems are caused by “a heavy load on the match and competition servers.” You can read the detailed statement in the tweets below:

“We are currently experiencing matchmaking and online spectating issues due to heavy load on the match and competition servers. We are actively working to resolve this problem. Thank you for your patience.” – Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) January 26, 2024

Among those experiencing difficulties is Justin Wong, who expresses his disappointment in not being able to play:

“How is it possible that Under Night and Tekken 8 have such problems at launch… It saddens me, I just want to play.” – Justin Wong (@JWonggg) January 26, 2024

It appears that the issues mostly arise when players try to select a “replay” during an ongoing online match. Below is a relatively detailed report from one user detailing this situation:

“I’m telling you, I might actually refund Tekken 8. This is UNACCEPTABLE. I understand if the servers stop working. But the game actually freezes when you find a match. And if you manage to get in and want to rematch, it kicks both of you out to find someone else, then freezes again.” – Naru(the lost and confused one)~ (@NaruSeraBoi) January 26, 2024
