Tekken 8 Patch 1.02 Out Now on PS5, Adds Cosmetics DLC Shop and Adjusts Characters | Push Square
A new update for Tekken 8 has dropped, bringing cosmetic DLC to the title via an in-game store. In truth, we think it's a bit cheeky of Bandai Namco to add something like this when all of the reviews have long been posted, but it's worth noting that Tekken 8 does have full character customisation and a range of alternate costumes by default. Still, it's a tad underhanded.
The patch itself weighs in at 2.9GB, and alongside the shop, it applies gameplay adjustments to a number of characters. These alterations are more to do with minor bug fixes than balancing, however. Certain moves that haven't been working as intended should now have the correct properties. You can find the full patch notes through this official link.
As for the shop, we took a look at the pricing structure and it's not quite as ridiculous as it could be. Legacy costumes for the likes of Jin and Kazuya will set you back roughly £4 / $5 a piece. Avatar outfits are also available, and brand deals with clothing companies seems to be a priority (of course).
What do you make of Tekken 8's latest update? Feel free to raise and eyebrow in the comments section below.

Adding microtransantions post launch is scummy af. It's not like they aren't already monetizing it with numerous season passes. Big L from Namco here

This is a real scum bag move. Reviews should be updated when companies do this. Hit them in the metacritic.

Oh, somehow the article is way down in the feed on the main page.
I don’t care what anyone says. They offered a complete product WITHOUT micro transactions. The outfits are only $4 and everyone still has
