Tekken 8 Will Give Every Player 5 Dollars Amid DLC Controversy And Steam Review Bombing


Fans rebelled after Genmaji Temple wasn't included in the season pass

The Tekken 8 community has been on fire this month after players learned a new stage coming to the acclaimed fighting game wouldn’t be included in the $110 Deluxe version they purchased at launch. “We apologize for not meeting the community’s expectations for the ‘Playable Character Year 1 Pass’ content and the “Genmaji Temple’ DLC release method,” the Tekken account shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday. To placate angry fans, those who purchased the year 1 character pass will get an upcoming winter battle stage for free, while everyone who logs onto the game between October 29 and November 26 will get 500 Tekken coins (which is equivalent to $5 of in-game currency) to spend on other microtransactions.
