Get ready for the next… offline practice session.

Patch day is always big for Tekken 8 grinders, and 1.03 has the longest list of patch notes yet. The new changes promise to polish up the game’s balance while also fixing most of the buggier parts of the game. Series director Katsuhiro Harada took the stage with producer Michael Murray to break down the changes.

The Tekken 1.03 update is mostly centered around system polish, but nearly every character in the game got some balance patch notes too. Here is everything that will change when the update drops on Jun 09, 2025.
