Tekken 8 Server Maintenance
Tekken 8 servers underwent scheduled maintenance on October 28–29, 2025, for the rollout of Update 2.06.02. Bandai Namco temporarily took all online features offline to apply the new update, fixing various gameplay issues and making balance adjustments across platforms. This downtime is essential to ensure smooth integration of the latest changes and boost server reliability for all players.

How Long Will Tekken 8 Servers Be Down?
The maintenance window for Update 2.06.02 lasted about two hours: from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM PDT on October 28, 2025 (which corresponds to 2:30 AM to 4:30 AM CET on October 29, 2025). During this period, all online content—including Versus, Ranked, and Ghost modes—remained inaccessible. Such windows are typical for major updates, designed to minimize overall disruption.
When Will Tekken 8 Servers Be Back Up?
Servers were scheduled to return immediately after the maintenance window, at around 8:30 PM PDT (or 4:30 AM CET). Barring unforeseen issues, all online services resume as soon as the update is applied and tested. Players were encouraged to re-launch the game post-maintenance to access new patch features.
