Tekken 8 Releases New Update Along With Patch Notes

Bandai Namco has released a new Tekken 8 update via PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X alongside patch notes that reveal and detail everything the patch does. Dubbed Update 1.02.01, the new patch doesn't do a ton in terms of new content or features, but it does include the new UT x TEKKEN in-game collaboration customization items. And of course, in addition to this, there are improvements to the game, bug fixes, and adjustments to various Tekken 8 characters. 

While we have the complete patch notes for the update, which can be seen below, we do not have any information about the file size on any given platform, which means we do not have any concrete insight to offer in how long it may take to download. It will indeed require you to download before you can resume play as normal though.
