All you need is an internet connection and a PlayStation Network account. Pre-downloads open two hours before the beta goes live, so queue it up on Wednesday evening and you&#8217;ll be ready the moment the gates open at 3 PM SGT.<\/p>\n<p>The open beta runs for a clean 72 hours, closing at approximately <strong>3:00 PM SGT on Monday 27 July<\/strong>, giving Singapore players a full weekend plus a Monday afternoon to clock in some hours before the full game ships.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X8UlNl6VB0g\" title=\"MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls | Open Beta Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls | Open Beta Trailer \u2014 via MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Included: 15 Characters, Episode Mode, and Full Online<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/tokon_ss2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls \u2014 team battle gameplay\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Marvel Games \/ Arc System Works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The open beta is generous: 15 of the 20 launch characters are playable, spanning all four announced teams.
