There’s a new Tekken 7 update, as patch 5.10 and its official notes are here. Bandai Namco went over everything people can expect from the update. While there are some new items, like the new Tekken Character Panel Set, most adjust or add features to the game. For example, there’s a Tekken 7 Streaming Mode for privacy purposes. There are also character selection quality of life adjustments.
The Tekken 7 Streaming Mode update for people playing online. Normally, playing a fighting game in versus can show both players’ Gamertag or PSN ID to people watching. This new mode removes that. While your information will still be shown, the person you are playing against’s will not. This applies to the Ranked Match, Player Match, and Quick Match options. That way, some random person you are fighting who can’t give consent won’t have their identity exposed.
