Tekken 8 has revealed that it plans to ban players who leave matches on purpose. Released earlier this year, Tekken 8 brings a new chapter of the iconic franchise. But while the game has numerous new features for the community to enjoy, like new mechanics and characters, Tekken 8 isn't immune to problems.

Although Tekken 8 is a huge success, there have been growing complaints about players leaving matches to avoid losing progress towards the next rank.

Despite the legal aspect, Harada and Murray confirmed that they are working on a way to «remove these people from the game service before proceeding with the bans,» a feature they say is really coming to Tekken 8.

While there's no info on when Tekken 8 will start banning rage quitters, Harada acknowledged that not everybody leaves matches maliciously, which can happen, for example, due to connection issues.

Tekken 8 devs confirmed plans to update the disconnect rate meter displayed on each player's profile, making it more accurate. The broadcast about Tekken 8's post-launch content also noted the importance of players continuing to report rage quitters, so that «the more they are reported, the higher they will be on the list.»
